Considerable attention is being
attracted this week to the inyesti-
cation being made OF the cleanli-
ness Of the several packing houses
throughout the country and espec-
tally those of Chicago and New
York. While it. not expected
that the cooling rooms of pack
ing house would be.as clean as a
parlor still it was thought that
some care would be taken by the
management OF those houses TO at
least keep them in a sanitary con-
condition. But this was not to be
and when the packing houses were
visited by the commission appoint
ed by the president to make
thorough investigation, they were
found to contain filth beyond the
widest conceptions. Probably no
better illustration OF The condition
pending there can be made than
the following paragraph taken
from the report handed to the pres
ident by the investigation commits

"The workers climb over heaps
of meat to select pieces, which they
frequently throw on the dirty
floors beside the bencn. in cut
ting the meat on the bench, the
work is usually held against the
aprons, which, as u rule, are indie
scribably filthy. The men were
seen to stand on the meat tables
with their shoes covered with filth.
At lunch hour they were seen to
sit on the spot where the meat
was cut, although under the super
intendents eyes.
1--WE saw meat shove)ed from
filthy floors, piled on tables which
were rarely washed, and pushed in
to rotton box cars, always gather
i & dirt, and splinters from the

orations of tuberculous and other
diseased workers.
AS an extreme example OF the
disregard for cleanliness in hand
diseased meat we saw hog killed, |
cleaned and washed, and as it was
started TO the cooler it fell from
the sliding rail to the dirty floor

To the Bombay museum fund he gave 2 oubfiati6tI of three lakhs, which is edua1 a1D0vEzO, ,O0O Sir Currimbhoy was one of the first Mohammedans to be- come a Free Mason, and among the most valued tributes he has received for his services was the address from members of the Masonic craft on the occasion of his receiving the honor of knighthood at the hands of the prince of Wales.
 His residence, Pabaney house, named after his father, is at Breach Candy, a fashionable suburb of Bom- bay. Here he is always very glad to entertain his numerous friends, who are not confined to one section of the varied community of Bombay. He is prominent member of the Social Union, which aims especially at pro noting social intercourse among the citizens of the western capital of In. dia. In his numerous business occu. pations he is greatly assisted by hit two eldest sons, who are themselve! both members of the Bombay corpora ton and justices of the peace.

Collections of voices are being made for various purposes. The phonograms of the British museum are designed to preserve for future generations the voices of famous peo- pie of our time; but the Vienna academy of sciences is going further, and seeks phonograms of languages and dialects for the comparative study of languages. Already its col lection includes popular songs of gypsies and Arabians, favorite airs of Red Indian tribes, the idioms of negroes and Malays, and so on. It is sending out special voice-hunting expeditions every year, and its agents are now securing Australasia, Roumania, Istria and other locali- ties. Its latest plan is to phonograph the voices of animals, for scientific study. Interesting and perhaps use full as all this is, the question arises where space will be eventually found to store the innumerable voices of the world.

Champ Clark has been receiving felicitations on the popular apprecia- tion which has greeted his use of the word towering" in debate says an exchange. Papers all over the coun- try are discussing it and his col leagues are congratulating him .-on adding new word to the language. Hang 'em," said Champ. 'I'm going to look it up now and see if there isn't an authority for it. I'll bet Shakespeare or somebody used it, and if they didn't it's the first new word ever added to the language of which that isn't true" But what is the difference whether the word was used by some one before or not, Sci entists are everlastingly making new terms, and regular jawbreakers at that, so why cannot common people enlarge their vocabulary for every day use? lowering" is not a hand some word or a sweet sounding one, but it is strong and sturdy and we'll worth a place in the English diction- ary.

POPE 0E: THE k0JA
RECOGNIZED HEAD OF THE
 COMMUNITY IN BOMBAY.
A Great Trader-Efforts on Behalf of Education and Philanthropy-A
 Mohammedan That Believes in Female Education.

The Khoja community of Bombay Is part of that curious Mohammedan sect so widely spread over Asia and Africa which recognizes the spiritual chiefship of the Aga Khan. The propagandism of the Khojas is now. one of commerce, and our portrait rep resents their leading merchant and the recognized head of their community in Bombay.
 Sir Currimbhey Ebrahim has many claims to recognition among India's public men besides the fact of his hav- ing taken a prominent part in develop ing the trade of Bombay and the in dustries which have made that presi- dency so prosperous. His family were long settled in Clutch, and traded from that place with Arabia and Zanzibar over 50 years ago. Sir Currimbhoy, who was born in 1S40, established him. self in business on his own account at Bombay when he was only 16. A year later he had opened branch at Hong Kong, and before many years lie had agencies or branches in the principal parts of China, Japan and the Straits Settlements.
 But his enterprises, have. not been confined to over-sea trade; indeed they are now mainly connected with the development of the cotton industry in India. He first turned his attention to the subject 20 years ago, and 1t is said that his mills now employ 5000 workpeople. He has also established pressing and ginning factories of his own in the mofussil and even in some of the native states, for he believes ir the importance of making India inde- pendent of outside sources of supply Sir Currimbhoy has always enjoyed large measure of consideration at thu hands of the British government in In dia, which appreciated his efforts or
 behalf of education and in the cause of philanthropy.
 Few have done as much as he has u spread education among Mohammedans In one important particular his view . on education differ materially iron
 most Mohammedans. He holds that 1t i 1, just as necessary to give girls a .soun
 education as 1t is boys. He also favor primary rather than higher education

Those members of congress who are still hanging on to free seeds
 are defending their position by as- serting that "the farmers want them" This position appears untena- ble from the fact that the National grange, at its last annual convention at Portland, Ore, vigorously con- demned the free seed appropriation as have the state granges of Illinois, New York and other states. N. J. Baehelder of Concord, \. H., master of the National grange. writes: Re plying to your favor of March 27 iu regard to the elimination of the free seed distribution by the government, will say that this movement has the support of the National grange. The legislative committee of the National grange will meet in Washington and will aid in sustaining the report of the committee if in any way possi- uic- lut ItpbiA aAAuNSA tv AS tit report of the committee on agricul- ture eliminating the appropriation for free common seeds. This au- thoritatiye announcement of the head of the National grange should re- lieve any timid congressman from the idea that the farmers want the seeds. The absurdity of the eonten- ton that the farmers want the seeds" is disproyen by their value. The seed for the forty million pack cts cost ssO.0OO. SO that the seed in each packet costs 2A mills. the package of five packets aggregating in value 1E cents Farmer votes come cheap at this price of a cent and a quarter each. and it is moi strange they resent the imputation-

THURSDAY, APRIL IF, 1906.


 The salary of the speaker of the house of representatives is $8,000 a year, $3,000 more than that of his fellow members of the house. The speaker of the British house of com mons receives salary of $2O,000 a year, with a commodious furnished residence, and at the end of his off, cial service is usually rewarded by a peerage and receives pension of $20,000. If we are niggardly, the English are too extravagant. But our cousins do not elect party speaker. He is almost a judge and holds his position for many years, regardless of the change in politics.

Theophilus G. Steward, who was appointed in 1891 from the District of Columbia, ranks next, and following him comes George Washington Prioleau of South Caro- lima, who for the past fourteen years has been chaplain of the Ninth Cav airy at Jefferson barracks, Mo. Chap lain William T. Anderson is the last of the four. He saw service in Cuba and the Philippines and is now with the Tenth Cavalry. The last of the negro staff officers of the army is John R. Lynch of the pay depart ment ,who entered the service in 1898 as an additional paymaster of volun- teers with the rank of major. which position he held for three years. In 1901 he was discharged and appoint ed to the permanent establishment as paymaster, with the rank of captain. Charles Young, another negro, grad uated from West Point and is at present military attache at Port Au
 Prince, Hayti. Two negro officers
 who have forged up the line are Lieutenant B. o. Davis of the Tenth Cavalary, now on duty as military instructor at Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O., and Lieutenant J. E.

Lieut.. Pearr and the Pole.

From St Joseph NeWs-PTess-
While it is impossible to say now
how far the failure OF the chief OBJ
ject Of Lieutenant Peary's expedition
to the north pole was due to an IN
usual combination OF circumstances,
It looks as If that were the case. Such
experience as had been acquired indi-
Gated that the distance from the last
permanent station could be covered
with something approaching certain
~ on the plan adopted, barring acct
dents Lieutenant Peary announces
that he will try again and his hackers
are fully agreed on this point
In an interview before he left New
York, Lieutenant Peary expressed
great confidence in the success Of the
venture. He explained that nearly
all the men accompanying him were
members Of former Arctic expeditions
and thoroughly familiar with the
work ahead Of them
Asked what good it would do If he
found the pole, Mr.. Peay said: cit
will open up 100000 square miles
Of absolutely unknown regions that
have been separated from the rest Of
the world for countless ages"
The previous record for the point
nearest the pole was made by Captain
Cagni, Of the Duke OF Abruzzi's ItaI-
ian expedition, who reached S6:34
north, or within 23T statute miles OF
the pole. The point reached by Peary,
S7:O6, places him about 200 miles
from the pole
It is, perhaps, too optimistic to ex-
pect that the distance remaining to be
covered between the point reached by
PeaTy and the pole will be conquered
by one dash The history Of Arctic
exploration has been one OF slow prog
ress. The 200 miles that remains to
be crossed seems trifing here, but il
is vastly increased by the difficulties
which hedge the explorers. II it were
only question OF a dash 1t would not
be so formidable, but the transpor-
tatiOn Of sUstenance is a problem that
handicaps every step. Equal to the
record made by Peary in his latest ex-
petition is the fact that he did not
lose a man. Science and skill are
making Arctic exploration safer, Ieav-
ing to courage and determination the
accomplishment Of a tedious task that
nowadays, many persons consider
hardly worth the peril and labor in
vOlved.
