As TO Senators.

Il is said in Washington that next week
the Senate committee on privileges and
elections, which has long had under con-
sideration the case Of Senator Reed Smoot
Of Utah, will make a report in favor of his
expulsion And il it docs, there is a
reasonable probability that the report
viii be adopted and the Utah Senator
deprived Of his seat.
Throughout the hearing Of the charges
against him, which has continued Tor
more than two years. not a word of testi-
mony has been adduced to show that
Senator smoot is, or ever has BEEN guilty
Of bigamy. His offence is his religion
he is a Mormon And because Of his re-
ligion the Senate will probably expel him.
When other Senatorial cases are con-
sidored, il is amazing that the Senate
should show itself to be so squeamish in
the matter Of the religion of fellow
member. Senator Burton Of Kansas
stands convicted Of criminal offending
but tho Senate will not expel him although
it has given him the cold shoulder and he
dares not occupy his seat The Senate
reserves expulsion, pending his fight
against sentence. Senator Depew OF
New York has been ioully smirched by
the disclosures Of the insurance investi-
CATIONS in New York City, yet he is not
even under investigation by the Senate.
The lone Senator from Delaware was
chosen by the Republican Legislature
which owed It's election to disgraceiul
debauchery of the suffrage, but the Sena-
torial stomach does not even gag.
The expulsion of senator smoot by the
Senate on account Of his religion will bs
a gross outrage People outside Of Utah
hold the Mormon religion in horror, but
that is no reason why one of its adherent'
should not be left undisturbed in the full
enjoyment Of all the political and religious
rights that are accorded members Of othel
denominations.

BtER-ORlNKlNG AND CANCER

statistics which seem TO Denote Con.
neotion Between the Two.
Philadelphia Record.
With regard to the curious fact Of
the influence of beer in promoting
cancer the evidence appears to be ex-
tremely convincing. In so far as there
has been a real increase in the mortal.
ity, it may not improbably bear a
direct relation to the increased con-
sumption of beer in recent years. The
amount consumed in Great Britain,
which was p gallons per head in 1885,
was 3l16 gallons in 1900, and in the
German Empire the consumption rose
in the same period from 80 to l25 litres
per head. In countries such as Italy
and Hungary, in which the consump-
tion of beer is small, the mortality for
carcinomatous disease is far below the
average. In France beer is largely
consumed in those departments in
which the cancer rate is exceptionally
high, although cider also is here one
Of the staple drinks, and it may be
pointed out that the rate is particu-
larly low in many of those departments
in the wine growing districts, in which
beer is an unusual luxury.
1t was also noted that the two towns
in France in which most beer per head
is consumed, Rouen and Lille, have a
high death rate from the disease. In
Germany, from a return lately made
TO the Reichstag, It appears that Ba-
varia, Baden and Wurtemberg are the
three States showing the largest con-
sumption of beer, and these all figure
in the list of those having a high
cancer rate. In Austria, Sulzburg is
stated to be the province in which
most beer is consumed, followed at
some distance by Bohemia and Upper
and Lower Austria, and the same situa-
tion is revealed there, as elsewhere.
In no country could any instance be
discovered in which a large oonsump-
tion of beer was accompanied by low
cancer mortality.
No decided explanation Of the in
huence of beer in the production Of
the disease can be given at present
IL is fairly certain that it Is not due
to its intoxicating quality, as a SINH
lar effect is not observed in the case Of
other alcoholic beverages It is, Of
course, possible that beer may some-
times contain deleterious ingredients,
such as arsenic, which may predispose
to the disease but this is scarcely
likely to be the case all over Europe,
and with regard TO the influences Of
arsenic, it may be noted that cancer
is not very common among the arsenic
eaters of Styria. The effect Of beer is
most probably to be accounted for by
the fact that the specific infeotive
cause of cancer finds an entrance into
the drink either through the water
from which it is made, OF, perhaps,
not improbably from the malt itself.

THE CRAZE FOR WEALTH.
Views Of Man Who Has Always Lived
the Simple Life.


the Simple Life.
John Burroughs in the Cosmopolitan.
/ look upon this craze for wealth, that
possesses nearly all classes in our time,
as one of the most lamentable spectacles
the world has ever seen. The old prayer,
Give me neither poverty nor riches, is
the only sane one. The grand mistake
we make is in supposing that because a
little money is a good thing, unlimited
means is the sum Of all good, or that our
happiness will keep pace with the in
crease of our possessions.
Beyond the point OF a moderate COM
potency, wealth is a burden. A man may
possess a competency; great wealth pos
sesses him. He is the victim. 10 fills
him with unrest; it destroys or perverts
his natural relations to his fellows; it
corrupts his simplicity; it thrusts the
false values of life before him; IL gives
him power which it is dangerous to eXer-
else; It leads to self-indulgence; it hardens
the heart; it fosters a false pride to give
it away is perilous; TO keep il is TO invite
care and vexation Of spirit.
Not Socialism, or any other "ism, can
permanently equalize the fortunes of
men. The strong will dominate, the
weak must succumb. "To him that
hath shall be given, from him that hath
not shall be taken away that which he
hath" Power draws power; inefhciency
loses even that which it hath. To abol-
ish poverty, to abolish wealth, we must
first abolish the natural inequality among
mankind 1t is as if some men had
longer arms than Others and could reach
the fruit on the tree of opportunity be-
yond the grasp Of their competitors.

On Sunday last tho Boston Herald
quietly moved from its former quarters
in the region of Washington street and
"Pi' Alley, where it had made a home
for half a century, to its oommodious and
imposing new building at fremont, Mason
and Avery streets, further up in the busi-
ness district Of tho city.
Ordinarily the knowing" of news
paper office is tremendous task, but not
so with the Boston Herald. For all that
was necessary was for its staff and en-
ployos to pick up their trap" their
personal effects, their lares and penates-
and stroll up to the new quarters. All
tho machinery and fixtures of the old
building were undisturbed, for the new
building had been provided with a COM
plete equipment for the publication of a
daily newspaper, as new as the building
itself
The Boston Herald is New England 8
greatest newspaper. It is complete in
all IFS departments, clean in every column
and has an editorial page of such marked

orIst OF the Penslon MN.

While tho present Congress seemingly
has devoted the greater part of It's time
TO consideration of the railroad rate
measures and other bills which yet have
not been passed upon, the records show
that more general and special legislation
than is usual at this period of the session
has beon enacted into law
In the five months Of the session Con-
gress has passed 1870 public laws-bills of
a general nature and about . ,250 pension
bills. This promises to bo a record ses-
sion FOR many years, 30 far as pension
legislation Is concerned. AZ the long ses-
sion Of Congress two years ago about 500
pension bills were enacted, and it has been
a good many years since that record was
exceeded, Already at the present ses-
sion that number has boen passed by more
than 400, and many more pension meas
uros are in sight Most Of these have
been signed by the President and now are
laws. Il is likely that he will sign 300 or
400 more this week Il is expected that
the number Of pension bills enacted at the
present session will approximate 5000.

The most important uses Of fire were

learned that fire may add to bodily com
fort; and when the flames swept through
a forest and overlook a doer and baked
Il, he learned that fire might be used 10
improve the quality Of fis food. The
hint was not lost. He took a burning
torch to his cave or hut and kindled him
q fire on his floor of earth. His dwelling
filled with smoke, hut he could endure
the discomfort for the sake Of the fire q
warmth, and for the sake Of the tooth
someness OF the cooked meats. After
a time a hole was made in the roof of
the hut, and through this hole the smoke
passed out Here was the first stove.
The primitive stove was the entire house.
the floor was the fireplace and the hole
in the roof was the chimney. The word

room" So that if We should saw that
at first people lived in their stoves we
would say that which is literally true.

THE JIRUsALEm ARTICHokE,

st. NicholaS
Most Young folks in the country arc
familiar with the sweet, crisp, juicy
tubefs known as artichokes. These grow
ON the roots of the sunhower known TO
hotanists as llelianthus tuberosis, and
are commonly called Jerusalem arti-
chokes. Under this common name you
viii hnd the tuhers Offered for sale in
most seed catalogues.
The plants are easily grown In almost
any kind of soil At first glance the
tubers have somewhat tho appearance Of
poiaipos, but unlike them they may be
eaten raw ike radishes, or they may be
picked or cooked. Recipes are 10 be
found IN an cook books
These artichokes are entirely different
Cyot not far distant in a botanical way)
from the globe artichokes which are
grown in California, and perhaps else
where exclusively for their edible flower
buds. These are never eaten raw. Even
when cooked they are rather tasteless.
Personally, I think they are not TO be
compared, as an acceptable vegetable,
with the Jerusalem artichoke, sometimes
even now found in old-lashioned gardens

New England Fishermen Caught s15,-
100000 Worth in 1908.
The results of the New England fish
cries in 1905 broke all records Ac-
cording to the Scrap Book Maine con-
tributed to the food supply of the world
900, 600, 900 packed sardines, valued at
S5000000, and in fresh fish alone Boston
sold 81 100000 worth.
The great "I wharf" in Boston handled
100000 900 pounds of fresh fish. valued
at 50 100000. At this wharf as many
as so fishing vessels have been moored
at one time.
Gloucester, the home Of the Grand
Banks fishing fleet, provided for the
worlds consumption l25 100000 pounds
OF salt fish, valued at S37500 900, and
handled fresh fish to the value of 81
600 600
In the latter part of 1905 a revolution
was promised in fishing methods by the
addition of a new steam trawler to the
fleet Since fishing began ON the Banks
the work has been done by sailing vessels,
which send out dories on the fishing
grounds and which, in their voyages
back and forth between Boston and the
Banks, are at the mercy of the storms
There are now more than 500 vessels
of all sizes in the fishing heot, ranging
in value from 81 900 to $4,000. the en-
tire fleet being valued at about 50, ,OC0 OOO
If the Spray, the new steam trawer,
does the work expected Of her il may
mean the passing of the old-time sail
ing feet
The now steamer cost her owners $50, p
600. She Is equipped to permit of all
fishing operations, being carried on from
her deck without the use of dories and
the consequent loss Of life attendant
upon the old methods Of fishing when
boats were frequently lost in tho fog or
run down by Atlantic steamers. The
Spray drags her own trawl nets and is
expected TO make huge hauls and fast
