Legend and Reality.

Legend tells how Napoleon, while
Moscow was in flames, found time to
draw up decree organizing the Thea
tire Francois. Alas, the story is not
true. Napoleon was in Poland when
he received the decree ready to be
signed. He there signed 1t and sent 1t
back to Paris, but in the margin wrote
the following: ITO be forwarded when
the army will be at Moscow. It is bis
majesty's intention that the decree
should be dated from that town."

The Beef Trust Active

The Beef Trust sent its very ciev-
crest man to Washington to appear
before the committee which has
charge of the report of the Chicago
Packing houses made at the sugges-
ton of the President, and sent by
him to Congress The young man
who has been the principal witness
for the packers has made good I'M
preston on the committee and If ne
had any case at all he could make an
able defense. The trouble however
is that he IS fighting for a cause al
ready lost beyond hope of recovery,
That the packing houses are outrage
Ously unsanitary and filthy every one
believes. and that diseased and po1s-
Oned meats are sent out IN various
guises and sold at vast profits to the
people whose health and lives are
jmperilled by its consumption has al
ready been proven According to the
testimony Of the young man who ap-
pears for the packers, the foreign
business has already been cut IN hall
and he is said to have remarked IN
private conversation, eff this bus1-
ness is kept up (referring to the pub
1icitv) inside of a month we wont be
able to give our meat away In TINS
country The packers are thorough
" alarmed over the prospect and Ion
gressiOnaI committees are beng uged
to visit the slaughter houses to see
for themselves if conditions are not
better than repoted. In the meantime
such a house cleaning is going on IN
the packing houses as they have not
known since the buildings were cree
ted With the vast resources of mon
CIV and for obtaining labor great
changes can be effected in twenty
four hours, and the packers have been
busy night and day for a full week
Flaming advertisements are beng
placed in the papers and posted IN
conspicuous places entreat1ng the
public to visit the packing houses and
see how lovely it all is, but the dam
age is already done and the Beet
Trust knows it and driven to the
so inwa1l, is making its squeal OF
fright and rage As a matter of tact
though, just as the innocent bystand-
er gets killed, so in the attack on
the Beef Trust, it is really the stock
men and farmers of the West who
are going to paw the bills in this af-
fair. Alarm has swept the entire
West where the stock IS raised and
the flood of kilograms which Con
gressmen here are receiving show
the despair of the stockmen. Speake,
Cannon is the friend of the Beet
Trust and will use all his of his al
but unlimited power in the House to

drastic reforms in the inspection O

"As quick as lightning Is q phrase
corlequially used to express the maxi
mum Of rapidity, but, according to a
we'll known scientist, electricity itself

machine, the human body, by which it
appears powers can, SO to speak. be

It is stated that a pianist In playing

notes in four minutes and three Sec
onds. The striking Of each Of these. It
has been estimated, involved two
movements Of the finger and possibly
more.
Again movements Of the wrist,
elbows and arms can scarcely be less
than one movement for each note. AS
twenty-four notes were played each
second and each involves three move
ments we would have seventy-two vol
untary movements per second.
Again, the place, the force, the time
and the duration of each Of these move
ments were controlled. All these motor
reactions were conditioned upon a
knowledge of the position Of each fin
ger of each hand before 1t was moved,
while moving it, as well as of the au-
ditory effect to force and pitch, all Of
which involves equally rapid sensory
transmissions.
If we add to this the work of the
memory in placing the notes in their
proper position as well as the fact that
the performer at the same time partici-
pates in the emotion the selection de-
scribes and feels the strength and
weaknesses of the performance, we ar

II ASHINGTON LETTER

(Isrom our regular corespondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., june H.
In the presence Of some of its. most
ardent Supporters the denatured alco-
hoI bill which provides or the -remoy-
al of the tax from alcohol used IN the
arts was signed last week by the
President. With the pen with which
he signed the bill the President wrote
several autographs on several pic
lures of himself and presented them
to these who had fought for the bill
in the House. The fountain pen went
to Representative Hill, of Massa-
chusetts, who has given great study
to the measure and is one OF the
warmest advocates Of it and who VIII
go to Germany this summer ana
spend his vacation IN the study OF the
uses of alcohol in that country and
its manufacture. During the signing
OF the bill the Speaker OF the House
MIR. Cannon, who has had no great
love for the measure, came to call up
on the President Mr.. Roosevelt re-
marked to him after welcoming him,
II will be able to talk to you IN
few moments At present | am en-,
gagged upon the denatured aicohoi
bill of which you may have heard
something. DendtuTeQ dICoHOI,
drawled the Speaker, Yes, l have
heard OF it. Why, out in our country
the babies cry for it." This bill just
signed by the President which be-
comes a law in January, 1907, is one
OF the most important measures
passed this session and that it did pull
through was a surprise to both ats
friends and enemies in Congress. All
Of the strength of the Standard Oh
Trust. and the smaller but not in.
effective interests of wood alcohol
were aligned against it but the de-
mand from the people for the remov-
al of the tax on alcohol that may be
used as fuel, lighting and motive pow
er for a variety of machinery was sc
great that the trusts were pushed te
the wall and the bill went through
both houses with votes to spare. 1t:
success, it is said, will be the de
struction of the wood alcohol indus

RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
tn Sanitary Condition Not What -
Ought to he.

When such great sums Of money are
being expended by city governments
that the inha bitants OF towns may have
q sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply IN rural towns
should receive little or no attention
This latter population may seem rela-
lively Insignificant, but it comprises
about 40, OOo, 900 souls. This means that
those 40, 1000, 900 people are drinking the
water most available without a thought
Of it's sanitary condition.
These various sources Of supply,
whether wells, springs or small
streams. are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water. The stats
tics, Of mortality In the country are
very indefinite, but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from illness as 1t should be. And
though everywhere the rural death rate
is lower than the urban death rate. yet
the lowering in the country has not
been as great as In the city. An exam
nation OF typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate Of other diseases u zen
sruny lower In the country man IN me
city, but the prevalence Of typhoid L.
almost equal to II not greater in the
rural districts than in the cities.
Several instances have been reported
which show the rural typhoid rate TO
BE- ten times greater than tho urban
rate for the same district To pardcu-
larike, a certain district In central
Pennsylvania proves this fact. It Is
made up Of rural population with 100
Inhabitants to the square mile. It is a
region Of fine farms, Wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
mic groves. And In this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever a. In
the city Of Philadelphia.
Sad as this condition is. there seems
to be no remedy for It. The sources Of
city water supply are few and the
city government easily controls the
conditions affecting It. But what can
be done when the sources OF supply
are numbered by the thousands7 A
mint Of money and an army Of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply that is
given to that Of the city.-New York
Herald.
