ON A PROPOSED STATUE TO
SHAKESPEARE.

Why should we lodge in marble or
in bronze
Spirits more vast than earth, or
sea, or sky?
Wiser tho silent worshiper who cons
Their page for Wisdom that will
never die.
Unto the favorites of the passing
Erect a statue and unveil the bust,
Wherein contomptuous Time will

Oblivion's refuse and neglectful

The Monarchs of the Mind, self
scoptered Kings,
Need no memento to transmit their

Throned no their thoughts and high

They are the Lords, not servitors,
of Fame.
Raise pedestals to perishable stuff:
Gods for themselves are monument

they get the sailors intoxicated and
thus deliver them into the hands OF
the Russian authorities, or if they
cannot do that they invent all sorts
Of schemes to compromise the unfor-
tunate men.
"A characteristic incident is afforded
by the case of a Russian spy, Greek
by nationality. This man was en-
gagged as interpreter when the sailors
were questioned by the project of Con
stanza. But in translating the re
marks of the project the Greek com
pletely changed their meaning. In
this way he succeeded in delivering
so sailors into the hands of the Pisare,
wsky squadron, the sailors being for
ward shot at Odessa. The Russian
agents promenade the streets OF the

dairy bureau. In this article Mr. Har-
wood says: milk has truly been
termed the worlds first food. The
Importance Of a pure, c.ean article
can hardly be oyerestimated. The
health, happiness, vigor and prosper
ity Of a people are in no small degree
dependent upon food consumed, and
especially is this true OF the food OF
children, who are later to become
men and women Of the nation. AS Sc
animal, milk is in perfect condition.
The troubles which come to milk
most frequently come from without,
and are attendant upon artificial con
ditioHs. These conditions begin with
the housing Of tho animals and do not
end until the product Is finally con
sumed as food.
Mr.. Harwood then takes up the ac-
zion Of bacteria on milk and says
that bacteria get into milk by riding
on dirt or any foreign substance, and
that the simp'e way to Keep milk bac-
teria-froe Is to keep 1t clean. While
this Is not entirely possible 1t Is still
possible to reduce contamination to
the lowest terms, and by reduction Of
temperature to place the few bacteria
remaining under conditions where
nIuItipicatlons becomes impossible.

the necessity OF good food, pure wat,
ductlon OF highgrade article Of
milk. The development of the milk
business from the old days, where all
milk was made into cheese on the
farms, down to the present time,
when the great bulk of the product
goes to Boston and other large cities,
Is gone into with considerable detail.
Speaking of the present condition
Of the milk business, Mr.. Harwood
quotes figures to show that never be-
fore could buyers feel the assurance
that they were getting so good, pure
and clean an article Of milk or cream
as today. Scarce heads" says Mr.
Harwood, "and sensational articles In
the papers relating to the finding of
thus magnifylng the condition as
whole to make It appear inVersely to
what 1t Is, are to be deplored, espo-
cialty In 80 far as they warn people
against the use of milk. But, good
as present conditions are, we want
better. The persistent producer Of
unsanltary milk must of necessity
drop out of the business" In closing
the article, Mr.. HARDWOOD says: "Be-
You'd what Is here advised, the pro
ducer of a fancy article OF milk can
go to any extent he pleases and his
purse and those Of his customers will
allow. But for all practical purposes

President Roosevelt has wisely
decided that the cotton report
scandal shall not end with the
dismissal of the statiscian,
Holmes, but that every effort
shall be made to punish adequate
ly all the guilty men. This stern
policy was the one he adopted
when the postal scandals came
out, with The result that the chief
Offenders are behind the bars.
The ease with which Mr.. Holmes
and his fellows made money and
the brazen way in which they
worked are so striking as to war
arnt rigid secret service inquiry
into the mode of life Of other Of
ficials who hold trusted positions.
The department scandals, like
those in our business world, are

Black an Emblem Of Mourning !.

Why dove always put. on black
when there is . death In the fam :
lily, or we seek to show to the
world that we are in mourning
for the departure of q loved one I
Black is q double hue. and when
worn in commemoration Of q de-
parted friend. suggests nothing
Of the tender, loving, beautiful
sentiments we would reflect. II
10 neither an emblem Of purity nor
of hope. Nothing sweet or lova-
BILE is portrayed By its adoption.
The Scriptures suggest il il :
symbol Of night, and in all liter
ature it is . symbol Of danger and
despair. Night is time when
all doors are bolted and windows
fastened, and when the signing Of
the wind and the rustIing Of the
leaves nettle the nerves. The
world needs no symbol Of mourn-
ing. Every soul knows its own
sorrowsI and that is sufficient.
But if we must have . sorrow
symbol let it be white, the en-
blem Of purity and the symbol Of
peace, the garb in which the an.
gels are supposed to be robed,
the color of the Great Throne,
around which We are besicged to
believe our departed friends and
loved ones are assembled. White
is typical Of the eternal day which
it gives US JOY to believe has
dawned upon them. If our loved
ones could break the seal Of the
tomb, they would certainly be-
seech us to remember them Joy
fully rather than s0rrowfully. In
the gsrb Of black we reflect ev-
rything we do not desire to cast
upon our departed loved ones,
while in pure pure white We show
them the path Of brightness, love,
cheerfulness and hope. Won't
m0urners never cease wearing
black in their hours of sorrow -
