LEsLIE's WEEKLY.

Just fifty years ago the first number or Frank Leslie's Weekly was issued and in commemoration of the anniver- sary a reprint has been made by the publishers which offers an opportunity for interesting comparison between the methods employed iE that day and those of the present both in pictorial illustration and in the treatment of public affairs of the hour. One depart ment of the weekly magazine however, has been but slightly modified in the Intervening period-that which deals with books.
 Tn the issue of Leslie's Weekly for December 18th, 1S55 there was printed an excellent notice of Lipplncott's Pronouncing Gazatteer of the World, which had just been published, and the verdict then pronounced by the book reviewer. it is worth noting, is reit- erated and emphasized by every re- viewer who, within the past few weeks has been writing upon the new edi- ton of the same work. This new edi- | tion. by the way, while in physical proportions not so much larger than | the earlier edition, congresses an amount of information regarding the
 world and it's principal divisions, cit
 ies and geographical features many many times greater than that whici covered quite satisfactorily the same
 field fifty years ago.

they have always paid for dislatori- ness.
 But that old order of things has now passed away. There is no sale of prop erty for delinquent taxes any more. The suits will not be filed in install ments but all of them will be put in at the same time and then the penalty begins and multiplies with alarming rapidity. It grows to such an extent that unless the tax payers be careful they will lose their property.
 First there are the usual fees for fil- ing, then the slerift's fees for service, and an attorneys fee of twenty-five per cent of the amount of the taxes and besides these heavy fees for the delay which has been caused by the alleged tax payers neglect of his busi- ness.
 It is generally admitted that while this is a most effective means of coll | lecting back taxes 1t works a hardship

Gen. summers Promotion

A story is being told among the
friends of General Samuel S. Sumner.
Z. S. A, retired. who was until recently
the commanding officer of the Pacific
division General Sumner, who was in
Oakland for a stay. left the city after
the earthquake and went to San Ra-
fael. There he was informed by one
of the guiding spirits of the village that
he must aid in patrolling and guarding
against fire and unruly refugees. Some
thing in General Summers bearing evi,
IDENTITY impressed the man, for after a
moments thought he said: Il think I'll
make you second lieutenant"
Thank you," answered General Sum.

ferred upon me ever pleased me more

route would both be absurd on their face II
the nation failed TO do its duty in maintain
ing a thoroughly efficient navy at as high a
point in perfection as can possibly be at
tanned.
Our external affairs are important, but
our international affairs are even more i'm
poTtant; and no other Congress for many a
long year has, as regards the betterment
Of our internal affairs. so much and such
excellent work TO its credit.
Control of Corporations
The tremendous social and industrial
changes in our nation have rendered evil
dent the need Of a larger exercise by the
national government OF its power TO deal
with the business use of wealth, and espe-
cially Of corporate wealth, In interstate bust
ness.
1t is not too much to say that the
course of Congress within the last few
years. and the hearty agreement between the
executive and legislative departments of the
nation in taking the needed action each
within its own sphere, have resulted in the
nation for the first time definitely entering
upon the career of proper performance of
duty in these matters.
The task is peculiarly difficult because
it is one in which the fanatical or foolish
extremist. and the reactionary, whether hon
est or dishonest, may play into one an
others hands. and thereby render it espe-
cially hard TO secure legislative and execu-
tive action which shall be thorough going
and effective, and get which shall not need
which We all sha.e, :, en- though we do not
all share it with rs much equality as we
are striving to secure.
1t is an easy thing to play the dema-
gogue in this matter, to confne ones self
merely to denOuncing the evils of wealth,
and to advocate, otter in vague language,
measures so sweeping that, while they
would entirely fail to correct the evils
aimed at, they would undoubtedly succeed
in bringing down the prosperity Of the ma
ton with a crash.
1t is also easy. TO play the part of the
mere obstructionist; to decline to recognize
the great evils of the present system and
to oppose any effort to deal with them in
rational fashion-thereby Strengthening i'm
mensely the hands OF those who advocate
extreme and foolish measures.
Congress Shows Its Courage.
But it is not easy to do as the present
Congress and its immediate predecessors
have done; that is. sternly to disregard
alike the self-interest of those who have
prOfted by the present evils and the wild
cl"nlOr of those who care less to do away
with them than to make reputation with

her some samples of worsteds."

was one he no longer doubted, or she
would have mentioned her mothers
foolish worries.
Now he knew. Every day he exam
ined the letters she gave him to mail
until he found one addressed to heI
mother. How heavy it was! And she
had written SO much without telling
him a word.

Whine of RaDe

While rape is food of undoubted
value to farm stock and particularly
so for horses, swine and poultry, much
care must be used in feeding 1t to cows
and sheep, else it is apt to make trou-
Bile. If cows and sheep are allowed to
eat too freely Of 1t under certain con-
ditions it will cause bloat, particular
ly if the rape is especially succulent
or is damp from rain or dew. The best
way to pasture rape, and we consider
this the better plan for any farm anil
nal, is to turn them on to it after their
appetites have been partially satisfied
with grain or other pasturage. We es-
pecially like the plan Of turning tho
animals into the rape for only an hour
or two daily. We give them what
grain they have in the morning, then
turn them on to the rape for an hour
and then back into the regular pasture,
where they remain until the middle OF
the afternoon, when they are again
given an hour or less in the rape field.
The rape has its worst effect on sheep,
but in handling them in the manner
suggested there is little or no trouble.

How the Pack Was Packed.

pack. killing one of the brutes, and to
my delight saw the others stop to de-
YOUR it. After doing this, however,
they still came on. L kept on repeat
ing the dose, with the same result,
and each occasion gave me an opportu-
nifty to whip up my horses. Finally
there was only one wolf left, yet on it
came, with its fierce eyes glazing in
anticipation of a good, hot supper"
Here the man who had been sitting
in the corner burst forth into a fit of
laughter.
''Why, man." said he, ''by your way
of reckoning the last wolf must have
had the rest of the pack inside him.

President Roosevelt unexpectedly threw
himself into the congressional campaign
when he made public a letter to Congress
man Watson of Indiana, which is a cam
paign speech written with the Presidents
characteristic vigor and plain speaking.
The President says bluntly that TO
change the leadership and organization of
the House at this time" would "substi-
tute a purposeless confusion. violent
and hurtfuI oscillation between the posi-
tons of the extreme radical and the ex-
IRENE reactionary for the present orderly
progress along the lines of a carefully
thought-out pol .cy."
In other words, the President declares
the Democrats have no settled policy on
any question, while the Republican pro-
gram is clear cut and well defined

My Dear Mr. Watson-I hear through

services to the Congressional Committee for
the entire campaign, without regard to the
effect it may have upon your canvass in
your own district; and l feel like writing
you a word Of congratulation and of earn

If there were only partisan issues in

say anything publicly in reference thereto

the contrary, l feel that all good citizens

Give the Hogs Some Salt.

The old idea that hogs do not need
salt has passed away The Missouri
experiment station says this about it:
Feeding salt to hogs is matter up
on which little emphasis is usually put.
but it is doubtless one of those impor-
tant trifles which we may consider
with profit. Salt is a normal constit-
uent of animal tissue and of the blood,
plays an important part in the stimu-
lation of the internal organs and is the
source Of the chlorine of the hydro
chloric acid in the gastric juice. 1t is
always present in the urine whether
present in the food or not, and death
may be caused If complete absence Of
salt in the ration obtains during con-
siderable time.

According to recent work by G.
LOisel, u domestic duck 5 eggs weigh
on an average of seventy grammes and
contains Oh an average nine granmes
shell, twenty-four grammes or twenty
one &C. yolk, and thirty-seyen grammes
white, this quantity of yolk being
made up of thirteen grammes water,
seven grammes fat and four grammes
protein, and the white 31.3 grammes
water and 5.6S grammes protein. The
eggs laid by domestic duck crossed
with a wild duck weighed on an aver
age 60.5 grammes and contained 7.26
grammes shell, 300 grammes white,
and 22.76 grammes yolk, made up Of
1915 grammes water and 1851
grammeS dry matter. The author con-
cludes that the eggs Of the cross-bred
ducks, though smaller, are superior to
domestic ducks eggs from food stand
point, since they contain more dry
matter, and that crossing with the wild
form is advantageous for continuing
the desirable characteristics Of domes-
tic ducks.

Making Cider.

Cider-making offers a good opportu-
nifty of saving the surplus apples from
the home fruit garden, after the best
have been put into the cellar for win
ter use. thus making valuable apples
that otherwise would be thrown away
4 bruise which would render an apple
unfit for storage does not impair it as
a source Of cider.
The best cider Is not made from
sweet apples, or from apples that have
little juice, such as Ben Davis, but
from good, juicy, sour kinds, such as
Northern Spy, Baldwin and the like.
1t is often advisable to mix few sweet
apples in with the sour ones to soften
the taste Of the cider, but this Is mat
ter Of taste.
If good specimens of the Northern
Spy are used, the cider will prove an
expensive luxury Therefore, any un-
dersized apples and any that become
bruised in handling may be used.
For the man who intends making
only small amount Of cider each year
enough for consumption in his own
household during the winter-a mill
worked by hand and pressing the pO-
mace of only two or three bushels Of
apples is the most practical. A mill Of
this sort will cost anywhere from $40
up, according to the size.

Cold Business Fake,

Trade journals, devoted to the inter
ests of retail druggists, are we'll sup
piled with advertisements, offering, for
a consideration, formulas that will pro-
duce ''ice cream" at 4 ridiculously low
price. Whether such concoctions will
pass inspection as articles of pure food
may be quite another question

ness in Mississippi, says: Il use no
eggs, no gelatine, no cooking. My
cream is rich, highly favored, smooth
as velvet, heavy body. Cost, not to ex-
coed ~ cents a gallon. Receipt for 81. "
Another says: Ice cream made with
NV -- is as smooth as velvet, adds
richness to poor cream, cheaper than
good gelatin. Cannot be detected where
gelatin can. Replaces egg whites in

Yet another says: "-- improves
quality, decreases cost; the only pro
duct that does not taste in ice cream,
when a liberal quantity is used de-
creases cost of ingredients, increases
bulk" etc-Indianapolis News.
