Cupid Gets SO in a Bunch.

A press telegram from Pittsburg.
Pa, says: "There'll be new faces be-
hind the counter in Boggs & Bulbs big
department store in Allegheny tomor-
row, for thirty-siX young women clerks
resigned yesterday to get married.
How Cupid managed to make such
wholesale raid on the store is a mys
terry. The girls did not hand in their
designations in a bunch. They went to
the timekeeper singly and kept him
busy all day yesterday listening to
their shy explanations. 1t is declared
that not one Of the three dozen knew
that any of the others was engaged
All of the girls proposed to quit i'm
mediately. When asked why they did
not give reasonable notice, they said
they kept their engagements secret to
avoid teasing by their fellow clerks.
The three dozen weddings are all to
take place this month";

Bees as Embalmers.

Bees can embalm as well as any UNI
dertaker. All intruders on their hives
are slain and embalmed carefully.
If worm, or roach, or any insect
plumbers into hive, the bees fall up
on him and STAY him with their stings.
To get the corpse out would be DIFF
ficulty; therefore, embalming it, they
let it remain.
The embalming process Of the bees
is simple 1t consists in covering the
corpse with a hermetic coat of pure
wax. Within this air-tfght envelop the
body remains fresh. 1t cannot. in any
way contaminate the hive.
When snail blunders in among the
bees. they cannot kill him on. account
of the protection of his she'll So they
embalm him alive. They cover him,
shell and all, with snowy wax. He is a
prisoner whom only death releases.

later and more scientific system of
cold storage do deleterious change can
take place. 1t is pointed out that un-
der the new process of ''stuffing" poul-
try by experts, that a few days prev
ious to the killing the food is with
held and the birds go into the freezer
with their crops empty. DR.. Wiley has
requisitioned $50 fine broilers and will
determine the truth or falsity of the
packers assertion.
Whatever may be said for frozen
poultry. game packed away and frozen
undrawn. must be an abomination. The
birds are shot usually in summer heat
and full fed, carried about thru the
day an shipped perhaps hundreds of
miles to the warehouse before they are
frozen. Every sportsman who has
dressed" a bunch of birds cut and
mangled by shot, with the feathers
and the contents of their bodies driven
thru them in more than a dozen shot
shipped game must reach the ware
house. Cold storage game is unfit for
human consumption; every housewife
knows what cold storage fish is like. In
the case of game and fish the freezing
process simply arrests putrescence at
more or less advanced stage.
It is time for the cold storage ware
houses to undergo inspection. While
we are attempting to secure cleanli-
ness and wholesomeness in our meat
supplies. it would be sensibly wise
procedure to extend our Investigations
to all flesh foods: and it would be
wisest for the consumer wherever
possible to draw his meat and poultry
supplies from local dealers where he
may satisfy himself by personal inves-
tigation that he is not eating chicken
that departed this life ten or twelve
years ago. Possibly such mummied
fowls may be entirely wholesome, but
it would seem that a decent respect
for antiquity would place them in the
class of relics rather. than in the CEN
ter of the Sunday dinner table.

ON TO COLLEGE.
\fton Star-Enterprise. ]

If you have a boy or girl in your
home, of the proper age, who has an
ambition to go to college and the ne
cessary educational preparation, sup
ply the opportunity, even at some sac
rifice on the part of the rest of the
family. Most parents are willing to do
everything in reason for their chill
dren, but not every parent can see the
desirability or necessity of furnishing
a college education for their offspring.
They argue that they had none Of these
advantages in their youth and that
they got along all right. and therefore
the children do not need it. Can boy
pillow corn any better with a college
diploma sticking out of his pistol
pocket, or can a girl make better pies
because she can conjugate the verb ito
love" in three different languages? To
this question we want to answer. Yes.
BY this we do not mean that the
college bred farmer can turn a heater
or truer furrow than his country cou-
sin, who never attended anything but
district school, But the college bred
farmer will have larger and truer
conception of life. Because his mind
has been broadened and developed, the
best that is in him has had a chance
to develop, and he will go thru life
splendidly equipped to make the best
of everything. A college education
seldom converts a fool into wise man.
but if there is anything in one it
brings it to the surface and enables
him to make the best use of such fac
ulties as nature has endowed him with.
Who knows what that bright boy or
girl of yours might develop into if Civ
EN- chance? Because your life may
have been narrow and cramped. and
opportunities and development denied
you, don't withhold them from the
young people, who. in the struggle Of
life in the years to come, will need the
full measure of the powers that now
lie dormant and latent within them
Give the boy or the girl chance, and
if nothing else comes of it, they will
be bettersmen and women for the time
spent within college walls. And better
men and women is the crying need of
the world, yesterday, today and for

An amendment to the national irri-
cation law has been passed by con-
gress, which reduces from 40 to 10
acres the minimum entry that may be
allowed on public land irrigated by
the government. In some localities. un
der favorable conditions, ten acres is
not too small subdivision. In many
irrigated sections ten acres, under in
tensive cultivation, is ample for the
support of family. Another amend-
ment was recently made to the irri-
cation law, allowing the government to
establish town-sites and divide the
land hereunder into various sized
tracts ranging from town lots to 10
acre allotments. When this bill which
is now before the senate, becomes
law it will be possible for the govern
ment, in any of its irrigation projects
to divide and sib-divide it's land into
town and farm units ranging all the
way from it's up to 100 acre farms.

The Private Bill Graft in Congress.


Golfers for March 3, 1906, tells of an
is most amazing. -sixths Of the
work of the house of representatives is
applied to private rather than public
business 1t is a recognized practice of
depicting the public treasury to develop
the art of vote culture" In part Col
lier's says:
AT the close of the congressional day
of Friday, February 16. there had been
introduced in the house of representa-
tives 1906 bills. OF these nearly $1,000
We're what is known as private" that
is, they propose in some form or other,
and for one purpose or another, to take
money out of the treasury and give it
to private persons, organizations, or
corporations. Nearly $500 Of them
grant pensions or increase of pensions
to persons who can not secure such
benefit in the regular way thru the
pension bureau. Over 1000 seek to
satisfy claims growing out of the civil
war, and about 1900 lay the feunda-
ton for future pension legislation thru
the congressional Strengthening out of
crooked military records In the plain
whole $4,000 are graft bills
In the senate, up to the same date,
there had been introduced ASA bills,
of which over 1900 deal out graft di-
rectly in the form of pensions BESIDES
these, LAG provide relief for some
body. relief" usually meaning money
given in satisfaction of a claim coming
under the class that has been uniform
ly rejected by the court of claims.
Over $50 prepare the way for later bills
giving pensions. Thus about $500 Of
the 4,4S4 senate bills for the first two
months of the session are propositions
to pay government money to collstitu-
ents of the senators.
All this means that more than five
sixths of the business of the house,
and more than four-ffths of the bus
mess of the senate, is not public, but
private legislation, and all aimed at
the purchase of votes for the senators
and representatives with public money.
That, in nutshell, is the meaning of
the Private Bill Graft that is going on
