Should Make Good Fight
As tas professional highway is Gem
parative,y strange to The feet or thsge
youthful husBies, there is ample rea-
son for assuming that both are bubtling
over with ambition. and that they are
thoroughly innocent OF devious methods.
It is the belief that they are as deep
ly intbued with feelings OF rivalry as
two young bucks on the mountain side.
That lenls a snap 10 the match. fc-
since prizchgtts are 10 -. IL IS but
reasonable TO expect since~er efforts

than from travel worn. puTse-hungry

So far there is just one false note in
the Berger Kaufman 80, and that IS
BerEeT's demand for q 10 pec cent bnnus.
There IS 10 reason ON Garth why he

be on the score that he dresses betler

FINGER Nails.

second part of nm inch per week. They
grow faster in health than in sickness.
in summer than in winter on the right
hand than on the left; fastest on the
middle finger and slowest on the
thumb and little finger. The finger
nails are, therefore. all renewed in
from 12O to 40 days. The toenals are
four times longer in growing than the
finger nails.
Some years ago many learned Asiat-
les let their finger nails grow to such
an extent that it was said they often
exceeded the length of the fingers, I'M
der which they sometimes bent in the
strangest curves and folds. Travellers
gave the length as three inches and
even more. The best authorities give
the extreme length to which the finger
nails grow as just upon two inches,

A GALLANT SEA DOG.
Admiral McCnIIa and His Tumultu-
Gus Career.

Rear Admiral Bowman II. McCalla,
who reached the are Of siXty-two in
Junc and went on the retired list, has
been noted as a very strict discipline
rian. hut he has also been noted for
his generosity and his bluif good heart
edness. His violent temper goo him
into trouble some years ago, and he
was court marialed on charges OF cru
city u subprdinatcs and suspended
from the service for three years. ON
account Of his previous deeds of gal
Iantry il was decided in 1891, year
after imuositiou of his sentence, that
he should be- restored at once to active
service. He had expressed regret for
his acts aud wished a chance 10 re-
trieye his reputation When the wal
with Spain occurred Admiral McCalla
made such a good record in command
of the Marblehead that he was restored
to the place he held on the list of Of
ncerS previous to his suspension. In
1859 he commanded the Newark and
aided in the pacifcation of the Philip
pines ana in 1900 he co-operated with
tie British Vice Admiral Seymour in
putting stop To the Boxer troubles in
China and in this campaign gained the
congratulations of the navy depart
mcut and cncomiums from naval and
military authorities all over the world,
He received the command of the bat
tleShip Kearsarge in 1901. 1t was while
Admiral McCalla was ia command Of
the Marblehead during the Spanish
war and off the shore of Cuba that the
marines on shore had Il stiff fight with
the Spauiards. They sent word to
him: Come and take us off. We are
getting the worst of it here" The re
ply the admiral. then n captain, sent
back was characteristic. The only
kind Of marines will take on my
ship" said he. will be dead marines
The impcrlel men therefore stayed
and they won Admiral McCalla re
ceiycj considerable sum rs prize
money in consideration Of his Spanish
war record. but instead of retaining it
for his own use lie made amends for
past oTen>cs by giving it all for M

THE GRAVE OF ELLA.
Hutton's Effort to Find the Tomb of
Charles Lamb

Hutton's Literary Landmarks Of
London was largely a labor of love
and was tie result of years Of hard
work. Dir. Hutton gives this example
of the difficulties that stood in his way:
Another Sunday afternoon | devoted
to a piou5 pilgrimage to the grave Of
Charles Lamb at Edmonton. AS usual.
nobody at Edmonton knew anything
The churchyard is not small one. and
1t is entirely filled. The sexton and the
gravedigger and few persons wan
dering about could give me no lnfor-
nation. Most of them had never heard
of Mr.. Lamb, and l could not find the
sacred spot. Naturally l applied to the
rector, and as he left the veStry door
after service leaning ON the arm of a
pretty young woman | approached
him, raised my hat and asked politely
If he could tell me where Charles and
Mary Lamb We're resting. Really he
could not say. And |, forgetting the
day, the place and his sacred office.
cursed that rector for his criminal igno-
rance.
Great heavens l said, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself! In your
care have been placed the ashes of one
Of the foremost men in the whole his
tory of English letters. And you don't
know where they are, They have made
your churchyard and your parish dis
tinguished all the world over have
come 5000 miles to visit Charles
Lambs grave, and you, the rector Of
the church, don't know where it is!
You ought to be heartily ashamed Of
yourself. And l turned upon my heel
ana left him standing there speeches.
and COMPOUNDED"
Half an hour after the above incident
occurred and while Hutton was CROP
ing around the graveyard in the twi-
light the rector came to him, hat I'm
hand, apologized most humbly for his
Ignorance, which he had corrected In
the meantime, and conducted him to
the grave Of the immortal Ella.

CLEAN MILK.
simple Ways of Improving the Farm
Milk supply.

Keep the cows clean and do not com
pei or allow them to wade and live in
filth. This means clean yards and
clean well bedded stalls. Everything
short of this is positiYely repulsive and
should not he tolerated any longer in
a civilized community.
Stop the filthy practice known as
"wcttinG the teats," by which is meant
the drawing OF little milk into the
hands with which TO wet the teats be
fore and during milking, leaving the
excess Of filthy milk to drop from the
hands and teats into the pail.
Wash all utensils clean by first using
lukewarm water, afterward washing
in warm water and rinsng in an album
dance Of boiling water, then exposing
until the next using in direct sunlight.
which is good stcriiizer
Use milk pals, caLJ, etc. for no 9th
er purpose but to hold milk
Keep out of these utensils all sour or
tainted milk, even after they have been
used FOR the day Using them for this
purpose at any time infects them so
badly that no amount of washing is
likely to clean them. Bacteria are in
visible. and millions can find lodging
place in the thin film of moisture that
remains after dishes are apparently
clean.
Brush down the cobwebs and keep
the barn free from accumulatons Of
dust and trash
Whitewash the barn at least once a
year.-W. J. Fraser, Illinois.

l. EPUBLICANS HELP BEEF
TRUST.

The Western Republican Senators
understand ps rfectly well the meaning
of the hocus pocus meat inspection bill.
just before the measure was adopted
on Friday night, June 29th, Senator
Nelson declared that the bill had been
shaped in the interest Of the packers
and the range cattle men.
"Wheu,' he said, "we come here
and ask that their goods be. correctly
labeled, these packers get up on their
hind legs and say you can't have it,
To me, in the absence Of that label it
seems a legislative abortion, and we
must submit like licked dogs and ac-
c4pt their meat, not knowing whether
it be fresh or as old as Methuselah. |,
for one, do not feel like submitting,
and / should not do so if the provision
had not been attached to an appropri-
alton bill.n
Those who know Roosevelts pecul-
lar methods Of reaching an end by pre-.
tending to attack the big interests in
tended to be benefited have declared
from the beginning that the whole
scheme was trick to help the big
packers and the big cattle range
thieves who have been fencing up the
public lands contrary to law. -
