There has been great zeal of Dis
appointment because the Garfield ra-s
pert shows that the profits of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent on the volume of business 81
transacted. There is no doubt, howl
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 fight on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on al
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of 81 -four and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
unle of business. The gross margin of
fifty-one 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 combila1
tons would seem impossible in a busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it apj
pears that the gross profits Of the milf
ers are larger than the gross. profits Of
the packers. 1t may turn out that tlf
agitation regarding the packing indus

Happiness in Spite of Deprivations

If | am SO happy in spite of my depri-
vations. if my happiness is so deep
that it is faith, so thoughtful that it
becomes philosophy of life, my testi-
mony to the creed Of optimism is worth
hearing. My optimism does not rest
on the absence Of evil. I can say with
conviction that the struggle which
evil necessitates is one of the greatest
blessings. It teaches us that, al
though the world is full of suffering,
it is full also Of the overcoming of it.
My optimism rests on a glad belief
i'll the preponderance of good and a
willing effort always to cooperate with
the good that it may prevail / try to
increase the power God has given me
to see the best in everything and every
one, and make that best part OF my
life. To what is good open the doors
Of my being, and jealousy shut them
against what is bad.-Eelen Keller.

CHOPPING A MAN DOWN

There is nothing that so cheers the
heart Of the lumberman as to play
a practical joke on one whom he calls
a "greenhorn," or, in other words, any
one unused to the ways of lumber
camp. One Of the hardest and most
dangerous, although it is the most ad-
mired, writes Charles G. D. Roberts
in Around the Campfire" is that
known as "chopping him down."
This means, in word, that the
stranger in camp is invited to climb
tall tree to take observations or
enjoy remarkable view. No sooner
has he reached the top, than two or
three vigorous axmen attack the tree
at its base. Long before he can reach
the ground the tree begins to topple.
AS general rule the heavy branches
so break the fall of the tree that the
victim finds himself uninjured. There
are cases, however, where men have
been crippled for life.
Mr.. Roberts gives an experience of
his own which did not come out ex-
actly as the lumberman expected
He had climbed into a magnificent
pine tree one day. No sooner was
he two-thirds up. the tree than the
lumbermen set to work to "chop him
down."
Il thanked them for their attentic H."
he writes, "and climbed a few feet
farther up to secure a position which
| saw would be safe one for me when
the tree should fall. AS l did so.

TASTE TELLS ONE LITTLE.
Unassisted by Sense of Smell, Onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.

Unassisted by Sense of Smell, Onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.
DO you really think that you can
distinguish the tastes Of potatoes and
onions?" was the unusual question
that Prof. Burtis Burr Breese asked
his psychology class at the University
or Cincinnati the other morning.
L have yet to see the individual
who could tell them apart when they
were reduced to the same consistency
and when the sense Of taste only was
used"
AT this point Miss Luella Latta, g
member of the class, showed some evil
dences of doubling, and the professor
asked her If she would not exhibit to
the Class exactly how discriminating
her sense of taste was.
He explained that he did not have
the potatoes and onions on hand, but
that he had something far more de
cided in its taste and quite as familiar
to most people.
Then Miss Latta was asked to step
up to the rostrum and when she was
seated Prof. Breese told her that She
must not breathe through her nose
that is, she must rely altogether on the
taste and that he was certain she
would be unable to distinguish the
three things that he then proceeded
to give her separately.
She failed, quite as the professor
predicted, and he then told the class
that Miss Latta had not been able to
tell wintergreen from peppermint or
peppermint from cloves.
In fact" he said, none Of you can
tell the difference simply by the sense
OF taste. The taste is aided greatly
by the sense of smell. All you really
taste is sweet and sour, salt and bit

Marketing POTATO Crops.

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale University in his book
ON Railroad Transportation is the case
Of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
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 very low level.
Potatoes are also a 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 tremendous yield of
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been 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
potatoes to every reachable 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 Lad ali the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at ak
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 crop md thereby TO
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which tine 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 we'll established that if a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape Of Governmental proceed

Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental Irritation

A Good Mans Humility.

An appeal was made one Sabbath
evening In church for volunteers to
work for Christ. No sooner was the
appeal made than a Mr.. Ketchum, a
wealthy New York merchant, rose up
and offered his services to the pastor.
The minister said, I'm what way, Mr..
Ketchum?" and the reply was, 'As a
hod carrier" What he meant was
that he was willing to serve in any
humble capacity in which he could be
most useful. How often have /
thought Of that good mans humility.
And God blessed him as afterwards
he went from house to house asking
parents to send their children to the
Sabbath-school that was connected
