good weather prevails.

PREMIER WARD
SEEKS TREATY
NEW ZEALANDER TALKS OF
RECIPROCITY
Visits President Roosevelt to Talk
Over Details, but Admits Such a
Condition Is Hard to
Secure

OYSTER BAY, l.. l., July 6.--When
Sir Joseph Ward the new premier of
New Zealand, stepped from the train at
| oyster Bay today to keep luncheon
engagement with President Roosevelt,
he frankly said the thing nearest his
heart in America was the development
of a reciprocity treaty between New
Zealand and the United States When
Sir Joseph returned to the station two
hours later, having fulfilled his lunch
con engagement, he remarked.
Reciprocity is not an easy thing to
bring about in this country"
Sir Joseph, adhering to the rules he
had laid down for himself in his jour
ney around the world, declined to dis
cuss the exchange of ideas between
himself and President Roosevelt.
My hearty belief in your president
as a statesman of strength, breadth
and courage" he said, "has been most
pleasantly and emphatically confirmed"
From his frank statement on arriv-
ing at oyster Bay that he intended
discussing the possibility of reciprocity
with the president, his later comments
on that subject are interesting as in
dicating the business like plan he pro-
poses.
Would Reduce Tariff
New Zealand" he said 'is ready to
make universal 10 per cent reduction
in her tariff to the United States in re-
turn for a like concession and is pre-
pared to make such a treaty binding
without action on the part of the New
Zealand parliament.
she now grants this reduction to
Great Britain and would be glad to do
so to the United states.
IF this is too broad a proposition we
would beg glad to make this reduction
on specicfc articles which each nation
buys abroad"
The premier instanced wool and gum
used in the manufacture of varniSh
and said what New Zealand wants is
certain grades of pine lumber timed
salmon and many kinds of manufact-
ured goods. He said there might be
opposition in New Zealand to reducing
their tariff on lumber
But" added he, you have special
interests in this country. too"
The New Zealand premier here adj
mitted he knew of a number of reci-
procity treaties now awaiting action
at the hands of the United States sem
ate.
New Zealand" he continued. 'is a
country capable of maintaining pop
ulation of twenty to forty millions You
are building the Panama canal, and
are our nearest English speaking
neighbor except Australia.
"Our trade is growing, our interests
are Identical. 1t would seem wise
craftsmanship to cultivate our relations
along the commercial line and we are
willing"

cisco for home on the Sierra July -.

Meat Specialists Needed

1.-The committee considered it of the
utmost Importance that greatly i'm
proved facilities be provided in the
United States for the training of men in
the important speciality of meat in;,
spection.
1T is the opinion of the committee
that diseased animals reaching the
yards do not get into the stock yards
slaughtering houses.
after carefully considering the pro-
Cedure directed by the government Of
ficials the committee think it fairly cer-
tain that no improper use is made of
unborn calves in the inspected plants
1T is our opinion that the dressed
meat of the yards is wholesome and
proper article for human food.
THE methods employed in preserving
meats are for the most part cleany,
nothing seriously Objectionable being
observed in any of the houses. The
picking of meats has not presented
any very Objectionable features. 1t is
suggested that the skewer used in in
specting hams be immersed in boiling
water between tests, and that great
care should be exercised in selecting
healthy operatives, especially the tester.
Canning Department Clean
your committee is of the opinion
that the canning departments visited
are in general in a clean condition and
that the handling of the material is
done in a cleanly manner by properly
dressed. healthy persons and that the
finished canned meats offered for sale
constitute "A wholesome and in varying
degrees nutritious articles of diet.
"The use of any spoiled meat unfit
for food was not here noticed. though
it must be conceded that some of the
canned goods contained material which
is of a low nutritive value, such as
pigs snouts, tripe, etc. 1t is therefore
recommended that the cans be COR
rectly labeled as to their contents, so
that the purchaser may be able to form
a correct estimate as to their nutritve
value.
at is believed that the government
inspection should be extended to a
supervision of all the materials used
for canned goods since they are finally
distributed i'm packages bearing the
declaration that they contain govern
ment inspected material. AS it is at
present there is no disinterested super
vision which guarantees the fact that
nothing other than proper material is
placed in the cans.
Uncooked Sausage
"It is suggested that for the un-
cooked sausage business the meat be-
ing Inspected for trichinae be handled
in especially sanitary rooms and that
specific rules be adopted and enforced
for the hands of these operators.
"It Is believed that the standard of
sanitary surroundings and care should
be higher for these uncooked products
than for those which are TO be washed
and cooked before heing eaten. All
cutting and trimming meats should be

To Cure Feathers.


Collect as soon as possible after the
plucking of the fowl. Pick out the
large feathers and place the rest in
large pair of stout paper bags, and
heat for several hours in the oven.
During this time they should be fire.
quently stirred and shaken. The heat
destroys the eggs of insects and
drives of the oily matter. 1t also stiff
ems the feathers, rendering them more
elastic. When thoroughly cured by
heat they should be cleansed as fol-
lows: Mix one pound quicklime with
gallon of water When the lime is
precipitated in a fine powder, pour of
the clear lime water Put the feath-
ers in tub and cover with the lime
water to the depth of several inches.
When thoroughly wet the feathers
will sink down and should then be left
in soak for three or four days. Rinse
in several clean waters, spread on a
sieve to drain between washings and
rinsings, then dry in mosquito netting
bags in the sun. If one raises their
own fowls, or buys their poultry alive
they can easily keep themselves sup
piled with feathers for the many sofa
pillows which are now in such de-
mand as indispensable adjuncts to our
comfort.

Take four pieces of any dull colored
silk measuring eight and one-hali
inches at. the base, the half inch al.

ded that the gold will be very much
raised when worked over.
Cut the inside pieces the same
shape, but an inch or so longer, to al
low for thick wadding lining.
Pad each inside and outside piece.
Insert a thick piece of cord to an inch
in depth along the bottom to give
the cosey the required frmness when
standing
The inside wadding is caught to the
lining by occasional stitches.
After the four pieces are lined and
wadded, they must be sewn together

around the bottom and finishes at the
top with four fiat and one upstand

THE STORY.

| :
WITH trembling eager fingers Ra-
w hab tied the scarlet rope in her
latticed window. It was out that win.
dow during the darkness of the night
before that she had let down the two
Hebrews, and she looked out across
the plain towards the mountain, ap-
prehensively, wondering If they had
made good their escape.
"That cord let these strangers down
to safety she said to herself, land it
is the pledge of my deliverance when
they shall return. But must hurry.
for, oh! my mother and my father,
and my brothers and sisters must be
brought thither 80 that the scarlet
thread shall give them shelter, even
as 1t will me-
And Rahab, giving one backward
glance to be sure that the scarlet
thread was secu.ely tied, hastened
forth.
The day before. these strangers had
come. Every door in Jericho had been
shut against them but hers. And, ah,
she! What was she, but despised
outcast? And, of course, her door was
always open for the coming Of any
stranger who might bring her gain.
And she had received the strangers,
but as she had listened to their story
m awakening conscience spoke to
her of something higher snd better
than she haC ever known sefore.

Benny on the Mole.

The mole is a small animal that
lives just below the surface of the
earth and raises welts on the ground
when it desires to move from one
spot to another. You catch a mole
by digging for him, except that you
generally don't get him. His fore
legs consist of pair OF sharp claws.
The mole is silent animal and alb
hors the society of man, but is fond
of roots. I know boy who caught
q mole after hunting for him three
days and sold its skin for two cents,
which he gave to the heather, who
are perishing and have no clothes.
My Uncle George says a mole in the
ground is worth two on the face
