HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN
Not Only Man Who Makes Speeches, But Man Who Makes
 Good Ones.

The late Horatio G. Herriek, of Law renee, for many years high sheriff of Es- sex county. always took keen interest in the Lawrence schools, and was for a long time chairman of the school commit tee. Visiting the Saunders school soon after the death of Garfield, relates the Boston Herald, Sheriff Herrck spoke to the pupils of the life of the late distinguished statesman, and thus asked genally:
 "Now, can any of you tell me what A statesman k -
 X little hand went up and q little sirl replied:
 "A statesman IS man who makes speeches
 Hardly fhst. answered Mr. Herriel. who loved to tell this story For instance, l sometimes make speeches, and yet l ain not d statesman.
 The little hand again went up, and the answer came. trumphantly:
 Il know: Il statesman Is man who makes good speeches."

With the fastest boat ever built travelling maximum speed of less than 25 miles an hour and the Den at taining a speed of 8 miles an hour. it can be easily seen that the powers of the world possess primitive methods with their slow vessels The engine used in the boat is 100-horsepower. and the Den docs not vibrate in the least from the powerful strain.

 Dr. c. c. Franklin, the new presi- dent of the British Medical associa. tion, in an address to the association at Leicester, pointed out the danger of overspecialization in medicine.

Few people to-day realize what inc famous motor boat, The Den. built Inv Charles r. Herreshoff. means to the naval world. Already rumor has it that Herreshoff has orders from two of the great powers for torpedo boats built upon the same plan with speed of 46 knots an hour. a third faster than the speedlest vessels ever constructed They will be fitted with hydro carbon engines of the type now the motive power of the Den, but with the addi- ton of mechanism that will permit the use of fuel oil at low speeds. increasing the radius of action by the saving of naptha until the time that high speed Is necessary.

Chinese insurrection, following upon Russian and German aggression in that land. The Chinese, not relishing the activities of the foreigners in snatching at the wealth of their native land, at their policing of coveted dis tricts, rose in armed resistance, mur- dered the German minister at Picking, attacked the legations. It seemed in- evitable that war would follow. China be dismembered, with Europeans talk ing a fat share, and Americans quite left out.
 Regarding MT. Hays decisive move at this portentous moment, we call from an article in Mcclure. written by Brooks Adams. "The only minister of foreign affairs in the whole world who grasped the situation was John Hay" In the crisis of his life. Mir. Hay was ready, and on his promptitude and ef- ficiency at that moment must rest his highest claims to statesmanship. If war were declared against China, noth- ing could prevent the Americans from sooner or later losing control of the situation, and the Europeans acquiring it. Consequently. at any cost. nominal peace had to be maintained and Peking occupied before Field Marshal von Wal dersee could arrive. Mir. Hay issued the circular note. in which he laid down the principle that the disorders in China had produced a condition of virtual anarchy, whereby power and responsibility were practically de- volved upon the local provincial au- thorities. These local viceroys Mir. Hay declared himself ready to assist in restoring order, and so long as these provincial governors did not re- bel. he maintained that the United States. and. indeed. all the world. must remain at peace with China. Mir. Hay advised the president to land an army on the coast and march to Peking. while yet he could be master. As soon as Gen. Chaffee took command. Mir. Hay advised an advance. though the Americans marched alone. The lega- tiOnS were fcflcfcu- EtNiAS Ndo pCtu- pied. and the campaign ended precise ly as our cabinet could have wished. Mir. Hay succeeded in detaching first one power and then another from the coalition"
 It is not often that the possessor of the artistic temperament makes sue cess in practical politics. John Hay. perhaps. is the exception that proves the rule. Early leaning towards the profession of literature. a graduate of the profession of law. fortune go di- rected his career that he was to de- vote himself to neither the chosen nor the adopted line of work: but was to prove his versatility and adaptability

also with the COW and miller, an open pail makes it possible to collect muci dirt and filth; and that, if the open ing were reduced in size, a certain amount of this filth would be elim- mated. On the other hand, if the stable is clean and free from dust, the COW properly kept, the milker clean and tidy, and the pail sterile, the ordinary pail will give nearly as good practical results as the sanitary pail. If filthy conditions exist, it were better to milk through pin-hole; but if proper con- ditions are established, one need not spend his energy in trying to strike the hole in the pail. Thus far, sani- tary milk pails are not especially sue cessful. This is true also of auto matic milkers. Such things cannot overcome the real cause of the dis order Usually these attempts amount to about the same as trying to cleanse the body by putting on a clean gar ment. The appearance may ke aliHle better, but the results are not very satisfactory. If the pail is left open in stable filled with dust, Marshall has estimated that as many as 3,60O,- 900 germs may fall into that pail dur. ing the course of five minutes. In an ordinary room, free from dust, the number of germs would be compara- lively insignificant.
 Figure l represents sanitary milk pail, with a partly closed top. where it can be readily seen with its spout, which permits ready emptying, and it will also be noticed that it is covered with a cap during the process of milking. The cap is shown at tho right. The ring at the left fastens the strainer, which should consist of a double layer of cheesecloth enclosing a layer of absorbent cotton. The pur- pose of the cotton is to retain fine hairs and any particles of dirt that are not dissolved by the milk. It should be renewed at each milking. The value of a partially closed pail is evidenced by the reduced surface, which has a tendency to keep out many of the ro-organisms, which would otherwise drop into the pail during milking. To illustrate, a half closed top would have the effect of re- ducing the contamination from this source about 50 per cent.

in far opposite ways. Tie poet became ambassador, the author statesman.
 John Hay was born in Salem, Ind. in 1888. His father, observing his love for books, sent him to Brown univer. sity, where he was graduated in 1858 the poet of his class. When the young gentleman with leaning toward the Muses left college. he showed realiza tion of the practical side of life by al once commencing the study of law He pursued this study in his uncle's office at Springfield, Nl., close neigh. boring that of Abraham Lincoln. Here the future president and future secre. tary of state became intimate friends
 When Lincoln became president, he invited his young friend to accom- pany him to Washington as his pri. vate secretary, and in this association the friendship continued until Lin- coln's life was ended.
 Seward was one of the first to recog. nize John Hays ability, and offered him a place ln the legation at Paris He spent two years there, and present ly was sent to Vienna as charge d'af- faires. He was afterward ordered to

germs have been counted in each gram of dirt taken from the creases in a milk pail; while from its surface have been taken many thousands per square inch. This should never occur in a clean pail and sone that is carefully cared for. Pure milk is impossible under such conditions.
 It is not sufficient to wash out or rinse out a milk pail or any other milk utensil with warm or cold water and cloth only; brush is necessary. and it should be used with zeal and with a goodly amount of warm water ct first; then it should De followed by . wash with a solution of sal-soda CT lime water. or something akin, for the purpose of removing the fat. After this is done the uteIsil should be thoroughly rinsed with boiling water. then steamed, which will have ten dency to kill all mlcro-organisms pres ent Such treatment is the least to be done in cleaning milk utensils. If the milk producer does not believe in the thorough cleansing and it's effective ness let him add milk from a sample lot, half of it to dirty pail. and half of it to a properly cleansed pail. and watch the results. He will convince himself by this. simple act.
 \ word might be. said about the scientific significance of the sanitary milk pail so commonly mentioned at the present time. It is true that, if filthy conditions exist in the stable,
