BOOK BEER FAD DYINo OUT

Former Years.

Chicago.-What has become of the
bock-beer signs usually on display in
Chicago at this season? One may
walk up one street and down another
without SO much as catching a glimpse
of the goat rampant which, in former
years, always was as sure a harbinger
of spring as robin or bluebird. Out
from m~ulticolored posters everywhere
1t was the goats custom to look with
eye of defiance. shaking his shaggy
name and beard at all corners. Now,
beer sellers say, the call for book beer
is not a fourth as great as it was ten
years ago.
Once, with the first thaws, came
hundreds of calls for book beer at all
the German bars. All brewers pride
themselves on good book beer.
Book beer, according to the Ger.
mans who sell most Of 1t, derives It's
name from the fact that drinkers OF
the brew in Germany manifested a
desire to butt %defiantly with their
heads at everybody or at anything
whenever they became intoxicated
from the drink. 1t is made usually

Pulpwood in 1908.

The returns from 1853 firms, con-
trolling 232 pulp-mills, give over g.
600, 900 cords as the total amount OF
wood used last year. The wood was
divided among the various processes
as follows: Sulphite. 1888. 900 cords;
soda, 10000 cords; ground wood, L.
06S, 900 cords. The total pulp produc-
ton by all processes by the firms re-
porting was 1898, 900 tons, According
to the census of 1900, the consumption
of pulpwood was then 1,9s6,310 cords
so that there has been an increase OF
over 80 per cent. in the last six years
This demonstrates, in a striking man
ner. the drain upon the forests caused
by the pulp industry.

to be known as the Perkin research
research. Many of the los famous
scientific men in England have taken
the matter in hand.
DR.. Perkins father was a builder
and wished his son to be an architect,
but the lad wanted to go in for chem
istry, and, fortunately, his father let
him have his w way. When 15
years old be entered the Royal Col
lege of Chemistry, and made such
rapid Roadway there that two years
later he was appointed assistant to
Prof. Hoffman, who had charge OF the
college. One day the professor sug-
gested to him that he should endeavor
to produce ~quinine by artificial means
He failed, but his experiments led
him to treat sulphate of ~aniline. a
product resulting from the distillation
of coal tar, with yellow potash bichro-
mate, and thus he obtained the dye
stuff called mauve.
For many years after its discovery
mauve pervaded the ribbons of civ
ilized ~wOmanhood, and under the
names of lilac and heliotrope is still
recognizable among the latest tri-
umphs OF the print works and the
looms. 1t is still the favorite color
of Queen Alexandra. But its chief
| title to distinction is that it was the
first of the long series of coal tar
| colors, more than 100 in number, and
| rivaling the hues of the rainbow,
| which have utterly revolutionized the
| dyeing trade. DR.. Perkin patented his
process, and with his father and broth

Renovating the G. o. p.

The Protective Tariff league follow
ers appear to be getting restless and
excited in Iowa and are talking of
knitting Gov. Cummins and other can
didates who are not sound on the pro-
lection goose. A circular letter to
Our Republican Friends" has been is
sued, signed by one Of the political
managers for the defeated stand-pat
candidate for governor, in which our
friends" the supporters of the stand
pat doctrine are invited to join in the
Republican slaughter in such ringing
words as these:
"Baptizing and %renovating the Re.
publican party of Iowa is of more i'm
portance than all the congressman
combined. This is an off year, and
with a Republican president, who can
veto all bad laws and who has enact.
ed into law all pressing legislation,
the danger resulting from the election
of a few Democratic congressman al
this time Is reduced to a minimum
Death, where is thy sting? o grave
where is thy victory? In resurrection
there is a new and better life. So lei
it come, for there is nothing at stake
except the oil inspectors and janitors.'
When Republicans get excited
enough to let oil inspectors, janitor'
and other spoils Of office go to thu
dogs you may be sur there must b'
something more lucrative in view, o
their opportunity of getting a .shar'
Of the offices has vanished.
But the important news to the Dem
ocrats is the statement that there i
no danger to the Republican party o
the country from the election Of
few Democratic congressman at thi
time" 1t must be pleasant to "Sens
tor Dolliver, Congressman Birdsal
Conner and Others" who are named

know that "renovating the R%epublica
party in Iowa is of more importanc
than all the congressman combined"
There is no doubt of it. The R,

SECOND HAND MAIL BOXES.
Why a Little Village May Have Big
Numbers in Its Post Office.

The mar who was spending his
summer vacation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
in the rural post office.
II did not know this was such a
large place." he said. II thought it
had a population of only about 1900,
but the mail box numbers run much
higher than that, and 1 don't suppose
every one in town rents a box either"
The postmaster peered out Of his
little barred window.
81 can explain that" he said. "You
see the country post offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
make over their Offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots Of country
places are bound to have high mum
Der boxes.
although numbers u ovel

During the centennial celebration in
Philadelphia in 1876 the members OF
the Universal Peace union assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary OF
the foundation of the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a pillow as a symbol OF
peace. The weapons were afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement, which, however, instead OF
being a pillow, took the shape of the
ordinary field cultivator.

HIDES AND LEATHER
TARIFF ON THESE COSTS PEo-
PIE $3o,ooo,ooo ANNUALLY.
Boot and Shoe Wearers Pay THIS
Enormous Cost for Protection to
Favored Interests State
ment by Gov. Douglas.

Former Gov. Douglas, of Massachu-
sets, has been calling attention in q
late speech to the 100000, 900 added
cost to the boot and shoe bill OF the
American people through the tarlr
duty on hides and sole leather. The
tariff tax on hides is Is per cent. and
20 per cent. on sole leather. The beef
packers control the market for hides
and have increased the price 30 per
cent. and yet the price of cattle has
declined. This conclusively shows that
the farmers and stock raisers do not
benefit by the duty, but that the beef
trust does. Gov. Douglas declares, as
one of the largest boot and shoe man.
ufacturers in the United States, that
he will be quite willing to part with
the tariff duty of rs per cent. on man
ufactured boots and shoes, in order to
obtain free hides and free sole leath'
er. He also declares that with these
tariff duties removed he and his
brother manufacturers can hold this
market and can invade foreign mar
kets on an extensive scale and that
the exports of boots and shoes woult
be increased to 500, 900, 900 which are
now but $8.000,000.
Everyone has noticed that theiI
boot and shoe bill has been gradual!
increasing since 1897, when after u
years of free hides the present tariff
duty was imposed. There are abou
100, 900 families in the United State
so that this tariff tax alone on hide
and sole leather costs each family aV
eraging five persons, two dollars
year and a great deal more If the fam
lily is larger. This tax Is especial
hard on the workingman and farmer
who wear out lots of shoes and ger
orally have a large family. Regardin
any loss to farmers and stockgrower
by reason of the abolition Of the dut
on hides Gov. Douglas, says: '1n thi
country cattle are raised and slaugh
cred principally for beef. Hides ar
an incidental product of the butche
ing business. 1t is absurd to suppos
that putting a tariff on n Of the b,
products of the beef industry will mi
terially change the prices paid ft
cattle. These fluctuate, or woul
huctuate If there were no combini
tions to interfere with economic law
in accordance with the supply of an
demand for cattle for beef purpose
AS a matter of fact there Is little or r
connection between the prices

stance in the atmosphere during the

thoughtthat the pollen of certain weeds

Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season

A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
