THE CATALOGUE HOUSE EVIL

The Implement Journal observes that it may
afford some slight consolation to know that the
catalogue house evil, like the smallpox and other
nOXlOus diseases, is not confined to America. The
British and South African Export Gazette COM
plains OF the annoyance it IS causing dealers and
merchants OF all kinds in the South African
colonies.
The British postal laws permit the shipment of
merchandise to South Africa at a cost of not over
shilling ga cents) per pound and while the cata-
logue houses are content, in some cases, with as
low as one per cent profit, by reason OF getting all
cash, employing cheap child labor and turning
their stock with such frequency, they are able to
report very satisfactory dividends to the stock
holders each year.
''The bitter complaint of country traders -
says the Gazette, sis that their debtors, instead
offurther patronlzng and paying them, buy from
the book OF some pertinaceous advertiser. Women
in especial become bitten hy the fascination of hav-
ing business correspondence OF their own. and by
the sporting excitement to whether the articles,
when delivered, will fall below or surpass their
hopes
"The storekeeper, OF course is not without his
remedies. He has his own persuasion to rely on,
his knowledge of his clients, his stock, and his
proximity 1t were foolish to underrate these
auxaries, for, in the hands OF able dealers, they
may be made to compensate for much else. Yet
there no denying that between the storekeepers S
idea Of fair profit upon his modest turnover, and
the limits at which some mail order retailers will
work. a great gulf yawns. 1t is to the
general benefit that atthestorekeeper should flourish,
and to any help that his suppliers can render in
his conflict with the irresponsible advertiser the
odashioned retailer is entitled"
Another cause of complaint from the same
source is that OF direct selling by many OF the Eng
lSh manufacturers to the consumer, also through
the medium of the parcels post.

TO PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT

This coming spring wheat should not he sowed
without being first treated, if it has any indca-
tions OF having been exposed to smut. The trouble
can he oviated by dipping the seed wheat in a So
luton that is to prove effective Smut iscar-
mode OF treatment is as follows: Dissolve one
pound OF copper sulphate in "a gallons of water
Soak the seed in this solution for twelve hours,
after which it should be drained off. Then the
seed should he soaked for ten minutes in lime wat
er made by shaking one pound OF lime in ten gal
Ions of water. The seed should then be dried as
soon as possible Care should then be taken that
the seed wheat is not eaten by chickens other
stock, the sulphate is deadly poison. tits the
experience OF farmers that land that bore smutty
wheat il the seed is properly treated, the smut
spores in the ground having been all killed by the
cold weather.

On Washington's birthday the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania conferred the
degree of doctor of laws upon Pres
ident Roosevelt and Emperor William
of Germany, The emperor received his
degree by proxy through his ambassa-
dor, Baron Speck, Won Sternburg, while
the president attended in person. The
ceremony occurred in the Academy OF
Music in the presence of a great audi
ence The candidates for degrees were
presented by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, In
doing so Dr. Mitchell called attention
to the fact that this university had
conferred the same degree on George
Washington, July A, 1888. The degree
OF doctor of laws was also conferred
upon the British ambassador, Sir Hen
ry Mortimer Durand, United States
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Rear
Admiral Clark of the navy and David
T. Watson, Pittsburg lawyer. The
degree of doctor of letters was con-
feraed upon Thomas B. Aldrich and that
of doctor of science upon Robert S.
Woodward, president of the Carnegie
institution.

Welt appreciated the foreign policy of

THOUSANDS OF VISITORS ARRlV-
ING TO WITNESS THE IN
AUGURATloN.
MOST INTERESTING QUESTION
some UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS
TO THE WEATHER DURING
THE CEREMONY.

! Washington, March 3.-Thousands
Of visitors are in Washington ready to
| 10 honor to President Roosevelt and
Vice President-Elect Fairbanks. They
have been pouring into the city for
hours. Quite number Of organized
bodies of civilians already have ar
rived, but the great majority, how
ever, both of individuals and organize
lions, will reach the city during the
day. Many of the electric illumina-
lions were displayed for the first time
ut night and their appearance was
very pleasing and effective. They
were largely in evidence along Penn
sylvania avenue, which is to be the
main route of the great inaugural pa
rade. At the pension Office, where the
ball of Saturday night Is to take place,
the decorators are still at work on the
court Of the building and their efforts
promise to reveal q brilliant artistic
effect.
But the most interesting question at
present is the weather for Saturday.
As to this there appears to be some i'm
certainty. This is the opinion Of
Forecaster Frankenfeld at the weather
bureau, who says there are four or
Ave barometric depressions scattered
over the country, the strongest Of
which is located In the extreme North
west. Upon this latter depends, he
Says, the weather in Washington for
Inauguration day. If this depression
moves directly eastward the Weather
In Washington should be pleasant, If
it should move southeast it would
make conditions in Washington threat
ening. But Mr.. Frankenfeld looks for
q day free from rain.

In return for the guarantee on the

of schools says intelligence has recon-
mended that an optional slant be
adopted in place of vertical writing, the
a half degrees from the vertical and
that a slant of from ten to fifteen
degrees be deemed preferable 1t
was also suggested that as good writ
ing materials be furnished the pupils
as those used by banks and their Gus
toners. The slant of the old Spen-
cerian system was fifty two degrees.
1t was shown that out of fifteen
states in which the vertical system.
has been wholly or partially adopted
there is now a tendency toward the
slant system for the following reasonss
Too slow, too easily duplicated, not
practical for business, results in back
hand style and destroys individuality.
In nine states the vertical system has,
not been successfully attacked. The.
vertical is used in forty-three cities out

At the present time there are $40 pub
lie school buildings in New York, and
their valuation is put at $S0,000,000. In
attendance today are $4,000 children
