No Free Paises,

The Penn'a railroad has knocked
on; the !ree pass with a solar plex
us blow. OF all the persons affect
ed by this important order it will
be felt most keenly by the hundreds
of politicians, big and little, who
have year in and year out received
large numbers of passes for the pur-
pose Of pleasing their constituents
and to obtain votes III support OF
election each time they came for
ward for public Office. While offic-
ers Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
decline to discuss the order IN de-
tail it is known that it was issued
to dissolve the friendly" relations
that have existed between Mayors,
members of Councils police officers
and even the village constable who
chased the vagrant from an open
box car standing on the only side
track within the territory over
which he kept watchful eye.
Members ofthe state Legislatures
will feel the order keenly, for ever
since railroads have operated they
received term and trip passes for
themselves and their constituents.
An officer of the Pennsylvania
road i'll discussing the order said:
Such a mandate was to be ex-
pected. 1t will be carried out in its
fullest meaning. 1t is known that
President Cassatt iavors railroad
rate legislation, and, naturally, he
would be the first person to assist
i'll any movement intended to abol.
ish all forms of rebating or making
any kind Of concession. The rail.
road is amply able to pay for all il
obtains, and it is only fair that
every person should be willing to
pay for it in return. There is moth
ing 10 be said in addition to the an
nouncement made, and there is
nothing to be taken from it other
than the distinct meaning it con-
veys.-Ee.

The following story comes from
Paris; Like Polycrates, a local mag
nate OF the Vosges has recovered his
property from the Inside OF a fish
He has not, however, thrown 1t away
to propitiate the gods, and is quite
content 10 have II back again. A
fisherman on the lake OF Garardmer
caught fine pike, weighing some
thing like 32 pounds. He sold II to
the chief hotel OF the place. In tho
kitchen the flsh, on being cleaned,
was found to contain a small purse,
IN which was s35 in gold. The cook
notified the hotel proprietor, who re-
membered that the local magnate in
question, who had been in the house
only the week before, had accident
ally dropped his purse while out on
the lake for row. The property
thus recovered has been returned to
its owner. who mentioned the purse.

Picked Posts and Poles.

Preservation OF wood is becoming
more general every year" said o..
Chanute. who has put in a number
Of railroad tie picking plants
throughout the country.
They are even extending this pick
ling business TO fence posts and tele-
graph and telephone poles. It
works out well In both OF these. In
the picking OF ties, the railroads are
using great many of the softer
woods, those which ordinarily
wouldn't last more than two or three
years. BY the treatment OF chemi-
calls, though, their life Is extended TO
at least ten years. The movement
first had its origin about 1880, when
attention was called By the govern
ment that there was becoming
scarcity Of timber In various sections
of the country.-Kansas City Journal.

To Revive Wilted Roses

Wilted roses seemingly fit only
for the rubbish heap may be COM
pletely revived and frcshened. Put
the stems of the roses in a tumbler
OF water, and then place the tum-
bier and roses in a vessel of suffici.
cient size to allow the entire boquet
to be covered. Cover the vessel
tightly and leave uudisturbed for
twenty-four hours. By that time
the roses will be found all fresh and
invigorated as il just plucked from
the bushes, with every petal COW
cred with artificial dew. Wilted
lettuce may also be freshened and
kept in excellent condition for
weeks if treated in the same way.

Experts are not expected TO read the
following from the Farm journal; it is
for the benefit of beginners.
Know how to milk? OF course we
do!
And yet, IL the old COW could speak.
she might quite often say that, in her
humble opinion, you could profitably
take few lessons in that gentle art.
II is business for the COW TO be
MIXED. she considers II so, and you
ought to.
1t is not fail TO sit down to COW
and pull her and haul her until she
steps around in the stall and acts as
If she were heing shamefully hurt.
Sometimes q cow will stop eating and
wait until the ordeal is over before
she will resume operations in that line.
The cow that does that is not comfort
able. Uncomfortable cows do not do
their best for their masters.
Other men have way of milking
that so pleascs the COW that she clearly
shows that she enjoys the process.
These are the men after whom we
should pattern.
Watching them, we see that they
never yell nor strike, nor otherwise
mlstreat their COWS. They sit down
quietly, take hold OF the cows teat
gently. 10 matter in how much hurry
they may he. and begin to draw the
milk, without pressing too hard, for
they know thai they are touching her
at her tender point; then they keep
steadily at ii until the last drop is out.
1t pays to milk carefully. The cows
will give more. and the milk will be
richer for it. Then, go about it as If
you had something at stake, and not
as If it were job that you hated, that
would bring nothing back, and that
must he done at a now-or-ncver rate of

When the law is up numbers Of

in the vicinity of the great cities,
While the majority Of these cause the

chickens, ducks. turkeys. and now and
then cat, for the sport of the thing,
If they find little else to Kill.
In some localities when the season
opens the reports OF the guns are very
frequent, reminding one of the Fourth
Of July In n city. What all the hunts

Tho Indiana station in one Of its bull
letins says that young pigs kept in
damp, dark. dirty pens are more sus-
ccptible to this dtsease than If kept in
clean pens and allowed plenty of exer.
else. pure air and sunshine. ScOurs is
often caused within the first few days
after birth by the feverish condition
of the mother affecting the character
of the milk. Fermented foods, slops,
moldy corn, etc. when fed TO the sow
will also cause her to give toxic milk.
Chilly damp weather, getting out in
the wet grass when young. and arti
tlcidl feeding are most frequent causes.
Some outbreaks seem to be due to a
germ. as Is the case in calves and
lambs These NAV set in so soon after
birth that it would seem as though
the pigs We're born with the affection.
When delayed until the pig is a few
days or few weeks old, the scours are
generally preceded by constipation.
The symptoms of the trouble are loose
evacuations, grayish in color, which be-
come more and more watery as the
disease progresses. The young animal
may show some evidence of abdominal
pain. The tail and hind parts soon
become soilcd with the discharges.
The appetite may he good at the begin
ming, but is gradually lest, and the pig
becomes dull and weak. The back is
arched hair rough. and there is an in
disposition to move about When the
symptoms set in soon after birth, the
disease Is more apt to prove fatal than
If the pigs are several weeks old.
Scours being II disease due largely TO
bad dictctics and hygiene, the preven-
tive treatment is of more Importance
than the medicinal. This consists in
correcting errors in feeding and care.
At the time of farrowing the sow
should be fel light. easily digested
"ation. the pcn kept clean and dry, and
the pigs allowed plenty of exercise and
pure air. II the scOurs are due to
feversh condition of the mother or to
irritating food, she should he given two
or three ounces OF castor oil. TO check
The scours in the pigs few drops of
laudnnum can be placed on the tongue,
or large dose from oDe-half to one
tablespoonful administered to the SOW.
This should be repeated IL necessary.

Trade" says:
Activity broadens in commercial chan

The many evidences of conservatism.
Business is brisk and improving, yet
there is no disposition TO start boom
either in commodities or securities.
Manufacturers receive liberal orders
for remote deliveries, many dealers hav-
ing covered spring requirements, and
shipping departments are forwarding as
freely as traffic facilities will permit.
Current retail trade is not equaling ex-
pcciaiions, but this is attributed to mild
autumn weather, and preparations for
the future are undiminished
Especially good news is received from
the iron and steel centers, output Of mills
and furnaces increasing without rcliev-
ing the pressure for quick delivery, par
tcularly in structural and railway de-
partments.
Wages were voluntarily increased at
print cloth mills, and scarcely any labor
disputes are noted.
Much complaint is heard regarding
freight blockades, several contracts being
accepted subject TO delay in transit, which
is seriously retarding grain exports
Nevertheless, railway earnings for Oc-
tober thus far show gain of only 10
per cent compared with last years fig
ures.

writer. MIR. Stolzemburg must have
been living long way out of the cur

The latter only laughed. Whereupon
