a New Aneedote Of E,nerson.

A New York man fond Of passing

tells story which, it is thought has
never before this been published. with
reference to visit made to that pic

According to one Of the old guides
who remembered the philosopher, En-.
erson had enjoyed his stay immensely.
Once some oneasked this guide, known
as Steve" what sort of an impression
the Sage of Concord had made upon
the natives.
"Well, sir obligingly responded the
guide, 'he was a gentleman, every
inch of him; as nice chap as you'd
care to see-pleasant and kind. And
be was a scholar. too, allus figgerin'
studyin' and writin'. though we did

Eleetric-Fan Sore rhroat.

The reason the electric fan cold" is
so often accompanied by sore throat is
according to a doctor whose downtown
location brings him many such cases,
that the draught made by the fan car
ries so much dust with it, 1.-THE fact
is says this authority. that the air
stirred by the fan is not fresh air, un.
less the fan is backed up against an
open window. When operating in an
inside room or in similar places where
it is most appreciated, the fan uses
the same air over and over, and this
air gathers up and keeps in motion all
the available dust. People who don't
catch cold are sometimes affected by
this dust, and show symptoms either
of sore throat or of nose troubles akin
to catarrh. The right way to use fan
is TO so arrange it with relation to an
open window that all the air with
which it is supplied comes from out
side" Philadelphia Record.

Profita Of the Paolrers.

There has been great zeal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
Ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900. before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on a
smaller margin Of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit OF S71s flour and grist
mills in Illinois. in the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume of business. The gross margin Of
fifty wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments in Illinois
was only about one-third as large, or a
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business
The millers have not been accused
Of being in a trust" and combila-
tons would seem impossible in bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade. but it APP
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
squeal and no wool"

There is q dreadful tale which I have

with fear lest lie may pass ere the last
sacrament be administered to him.
The shaggy, longrobed pope has come,
and the gear is laid ready; but ere he
will get to his work and unburden the

compel him, and they fight about the
room, while the shaking patient stares
from his pillow. The priest seizes the
bread and tries to break it, for broken
bread may not be blessed, while the
son of the dying man grasps his arm to
save it. and in the wrestle the little
loaf crumbles at last, and the sick man

In line with the classic case OF tho
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale University ID his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
Of the Aroostoox potato growers
brought by President futile of tile
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest of
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers Of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put Of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous yiel2 of
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut Of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every readable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
to a place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had TO reduce the
Price on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which it did By
means of these low rates, making pos
sible low prices, the potato crops OF
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed Everybody eats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied 10
the movement Of all potatoes al all
times to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crcp and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
Of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if
rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape Of Governmental proceed
arc. If the Michigan railroads and tho
Boston G Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental limitation
lhey would have felt obliged to keep
up their rates as do the railroads of
France and England and Germany I'M
