Methods of Inspection.
Referring to methods Of inspection,
in the present system is that it does
not go far enough. 1t is confined by
law to passing on the hea1thfulness Of
animals at the time of killing. During
the process of preparing sausage and
other products there is no government
inspection, despite the fact that all the
products when sent out bear a label
stating that they have been passed
upon by government inspectors.
The phrase on the labels of canned
products, quality guaranteed" be-
meath the inspection mark, is pro-
nounced to be wholly u~nwarranted and
unjustifiable. The report says that
the inspectors do not know what else
may have been placed in the can in
addition to inspected meat"
I'm one establishment" says the re-
port, "a pile of sausages and dry moldy
canned meats, admittedly several
years old, were found, which the supor-
intendent stated to us would be tanked
and converted into grease. The dis
position to be made of this was wholly
optional with the superintendent or
representatives of the packers, as the
government does not concern itself
with the disposition of meats after
they have passed inspection on the
killing floor. 1t might all be treated
with chemicals, mixed with other
meats, turned out in any form of meat
product desired, and yet the packages
or receptacle in which it was to be
shipped out to the public would be
marked with a label that their CON

Negro Caught in a Pullman Berth.

A negro, who gave his name as
Thornton Bliss of Indianola, was found
aboard a train at Cleveland, undressed

arrested and tried on the charge of
vagrancy, for which he was given the
regulation ten days, and also the charge
of stealing a ride, for which he was
given 500 and thirty days in jail. The
negro stated that he is a cousin of Min

Wiped Out Oysters.

There was a calamity of the We.

extinction Of the Neapolitan oyster.
The Bay Of Naples produced an oyster
esteemed by epicures as the choicest
IN all Italy. For the present, at least.
the Neapolitan oyster is an extinct
species. According to Prof. Doru, di.

NEW YORK CITY OF ISLANDS
Large as Some Separate
Cities.

No large city of the world has so
many Islands within its municipal
boundaries as New York. Some of
these islands are mere dots. Others
are large enough to have almost the
dimensions of cities.
Governors Island. with an area of
20 acres, is the property OF the federal
government and is assessed at $780,
900 by the city, which is 10000 an
acre. and as land values 90 within
New York that figure is low.
Blackwelrs Island, which covers 124
acres. is valued at $12.00O.OO0. which
is at the rate of nearly $4,000 an acre.
Wards island is valued at $4,000. 900
and Randalfs at s5,00O,0OO. North
Brother island is valued at $500. 900.
Riker's island at $537 900 and Hart's
island at s350,000.
The most important of the islands
included within the boundaries of
the Greater New York is, OF course.
Manhattan island, the value OF which
Is practically incalculable. It is at
least $1,000. 100000: how much more
Is conjectural.
The Borough of Brooklyn includes
Coney island. The whole OF the Bor-
ough of Richmond is an island, an
island valued by the city for tax pur-
poses at about $5O.000.0O0. The area
of Staten island is $4,000 acres. which
is almost three times the size of Man
haitian.

CANADA, THE EvELESS EDEN
Lack of Women n Serious Handicap
to Development of the
Country.

Canada Is winning the unenyiable
reputation OF an Eveless Eden. The
men outnumber the women. and even
immigration does not mend matters.
for 1t is figured that OF the 1900 new
settlers who have arrived in Canada
since the first OF the year NJ more
than eight per cent. of them have been
women. OF this eight per cent the
majority were married women, says
the Rochester Post-Express. In the
western part OF the dominion the lack
Of women Is a serious handicap to the
development OF the country. The set
an plays just as important part as
man in the drama of n new country.
the government of Canada is worried
over the unenviable situation. The
government Is satisfied with the class
OF immigrants that have arrived this
year. They are said to be sturdy
lot OF men. few of whom are past 40,
and most OF whom are between 20
and 25 years, and many are fairly well
to do. A large number are from the
north of Ireland, many from Scotland.
and the rest from the crowded centers
of England. The government frankly
admits that the dominion cannot sup
ply wives for these new settlers and
advises them to send to the old coun-
try for mates. Now, II Massachusetts
were only in Canada the problem
would be partly solved. for in the old
Bay state the women largely outnum-
ber the men.
