The state commission holds
that what the railroads is en-

the value Of that which it en-
ploys for the public convenience
and that what the public is en-
titled to demand is that no more
be extracted from it for the use
of a public highway than the

This is a good safe rule to go

fair minded people of the state.

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.
The department of agriculture
is seeking a plan by which the
farmer may cheaply make his
own denaturized alcohol for light
and fuel. DR.. Galloway, chief of
the bureau of plant industry.
has sent agents to Europe to
study the big potatoe that is
grown in many sections of this
continent and arrange to intro
duce it here.
This potato has small value
for edible purposes, but it is
several times as large as our
common potato. An acre of
ground, it is said, will grow
enough to make 600 gallons of al
cohol, which means light, heat
and power for a farm household
IOi q year.
After the alcohol is extracted.
the residue is still useful for
| feeding to livestock. Secretary
5 Wilson and DIR. Galloway antici-
: pate that in a few years it will
= constitute one of the most useful
7 crops.
: The department has arranged
1 with a big establishment in the
e west to take 10000 tons of its
2 refuse-corn stalks, husks, tops
and ends of beets, cobs, etc..
, to be used in experiments in
f, the reduction of alcohol.

DON'T LIKE ROOSEVELT'S
ORDER.

The "simplifed" spelling
which President Roosevelt has
ordered the public printer to use
in publication of executive and
departmental correspondence and
publications, has already pro
voked some sharp comment in
several departments in Wash
ington. 1t has been brought to
the presidents attention, with
a request that he once more
Estate exactly what he means. I"
Last week Public Printer Still
ings received the first kick re-
garding simplifed spelling. The
protest came from the depart
ment of commerce and labor and
the bureau Of education.
The copy as sent to the print
ing office was written according
to standard spelling, but when
the proof came back to the au-
thors they found many simpli-
fed words, and they proceeded
to correct them" but the re-
vised proof showed up promi-
nently without the correction,
and then the department jumped
onto Public Printer Stillings for
not following copy. The public
printer, however, only smiled
and called attention to the order
he had received from the presi-
dent of the United States, the
order setting forth that the pub
lie printer was to use the new
simplified spelling.
AS the public printer says, he
had no discretion in the matter,
so the simplified spelling would
be used in the printing office.
But the department of COM
merce and labor and the bureau
of education are not the only .
ones to "give a holler" against
the new order of spelling. The
navy department and the treas
ury department have also emit
ted a fierce yell, because the
public printer still insists on fol-
lowing the presidents order. -

ADVERTISING.
One of the Many MnrveIs of This
Progressive Age.


Among the many marvels Of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art Of advertising as develop
ed In modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the phonograph, about the aston
lshing expansion of railroads and teleg-
raphy, but here we have an industry
as remarkable for its extension and as
wide and varied In its applications as
anything of mans device in any era of
the worlds history. When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount of money expended in adver-
tlslng in our day, the novel and in
genius methods employed and the ex-
pert skill and artistic talent engaged In
the business, one may begin to realize
what wide field has been opened here
for some of the highest and most use
full forms of human endeavor
With all its abuses-and they are not
a few-it remains true that advertising
Is one of the greatest of popular edu-
Gators and one of the chief promoters
Of human happiness and prosperity,
and there are yet many ways in which
it may be extended to the still greater
benefit of the world. No good reason
exists why the churches, the Sunday
schools, the missionary societies and
other agencies of good should not ad-
vertise far more than they do and thus
add to the membership and their power
in the community. To set their ad-
vantages, aims and benefits before the
public in proper way and form would
involve no loss Of dignity or prestige,
while 1t would almost certainly widen
their influence.
The time must come, too, when the
absurd code which prohibits physicians
and other professional classes from ad-
vertlslng themselves must be abolished
There Is nothing but a sentiment to
prevent it and very weak sentiment
at that. 1t should be no more infra
dig for a physician or n lawyer to seek
patients or clients through the medium
Of print than it Is for teachers, lnsur-
ance men, real estate dealers or the
members of any other honorable trade
or calling.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Orchid Family.

There seems to be general miscon-
ception as to just what an orchid is.
Many call any plant which grows on a
tree or has some peculiar feature an
orchid. This mistake is frequently
made with the pitcher plants and the
tail flowers" The uniting in one Or
gan, called the column, of the stamens
and pistils serves to distinguish the
orchid family from all related ones.
The orchid family embraces 5000 or
1000 species, of which comparatively
few are found in the warm temperate
and almost none in the cold temperate
zones. They are mostly distributed in
the tropical regions. in hot, humid
places. Orchids, however, do not inva-
riably prefer humid conditions. Nearly
all tropical orchids grow on trees, but
in temperate regions they grow in
earth.-Youth's Companion.

IMMORTALITY.
One Theory of the Condition That
Comes After Death

One Theory of the Condition That
Comes After Death.
Our life does not begin with birth,
nor does IL conclude with death. 1t Is
only a section Of the development of
mankind before and after us. We ex-
listed before we were born, and we
reap what the factors of our being
have sown. So our life leaves its after
effects, and they will be what we have
made them.
The truth Is that while there Is no
immortality in the sense in which most
religions hold it If we accept their doc
trines in their literal meaning, condi-
tions In life are such in many respects,
rs If these doctrines were true. For,
while our bodily existence Is wiped out
with all its physiological functions, the
essential part of our own being Cthe
thoughts themselves) remain, and thus
our immortality-not as a concrete in
dividual and bodily incarnation. but
our soul, our character, the impulses
which we have given in life to others,
our aspirations and most character
iotlI l'bluiNS Dt W lltNl Oul.
A man who keeps this thought in his
mind, either intuitively by realizing the
power and justice of the religious in
stinct or by having fathomed the prob
lem phllosophically In its very depths,
will not live for the present moment,
but in consideration of the after eff
fects which his life leaves on the
world. And l would say that one Of
the best tests for right action in a crit
ical situation is for man to ask him
self, If had passed away from this
life what would wish that had done
in this emergency? l am confident
that the answer given to this question
would help us in the most difficult cir
cumstances to find the right solution.

THE LUNACY OF LOVE.
BuIwer Lytton's Letters to His own

ton, had been confided q packet of 29S
letters, representing the correspond
ence OF Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler In the days of their early

with a preface, stating that she took
this action In order to vindicate the
memory of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as a vindicatlon 1t is difficult to see,

the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as poodle" and signs

that they do. The earth quakes some

the earth came or when it will go,

how it happened to be here. The fact
is, when you get down to the truth, no

Chickens In the Rain.

On a rainy morning a good deal Of
wisdom may be learned from the
chickens. If 1t is to be a soggy, rainy,
drizzly day all day, the chickens will
get out and stand about in the rain
with an utterly Indifferent manner.
They look just as human beings feel,
and they keep it up all day. But If
the rain is to continue but few hours
the chickens will stay under shelter.
They cannot be kept out. They hurry
under cover when disturbed and stay
there till the fair weather comes, which
it does presently. And then they go
out and enjoy the sunshine. The chick

SuafIs and Odors.

A professor in the University Of Ge-
neva says that snails perceive the odor
of many substances, but only when not
far away. In order to prove this 1t Is
necessary merely to dip a glass rod in
strongly smelling substance and
bring it near the large tentacles of a
snail in motion. If it is put close to
these horns the tentacles are violently
drawn back. As the animal perceives
the odor it changes its course. Snails
also smell by means of their skin. Con-
tact is not necessary, for the mere vi
cinity of a perfume causes an indenta-
ton of the skin.

Quaint Customs In Abyssinia.

Quaint customs prevail in parts of
Abyssinia. When father is getting
on in years the son bids him climb into
tree and jump down from the
branches. If the old man staggers on
landing the son spears him on the spot
his usefulness is over. One tribe had
a custom of sewing chance visitors up
in green hides and leaving them to be
killed by the contraction of the skins.
With another the only orthodox way of
dealing with strangers was to tie them
in a bundle and roll them over prec-
ipice.-LondOn Mail.
