The President has written to Mr..
adsworth, chairman of the House
Committee on Agriculture. having
charge of the investigation of the
beef packers and transmitted him the
report OF the committee of in vestiga-
tion appointed by the Secretary OF
Agriculture. This report bore out
the general statement OF Messrs.
Neill and Reynolds. The report
was couched in very colorless lam
guage, but the main facts were there,
disguised as well as they could be
under precise department phrase
ology. The President called the at
tention of Mr.. Wadsworth TO the
fact that there was no conflict OF
statement between the two reports
and added that the investigation he
had in hand was by no means finish.

He said that from the moment

tailed some Of the changes Ia method

The Undressing Rich.

There are times when | have
my doubts whether anybody who
is making more than $4,000 a
year is really worth associating
with says +. S. Martin in the APP
plcton's. II say $4,000 a year,
but that is IN arbitrary suggestion
and needs to be adapted to various
conditions and localities. Where
the conditions are very favorable,
a man may be taking in very much
more than that, and still have
time to invite his soul and think
thoughts and impart them; and
when conditisns are harder, he
may be utterly ingrossed in gain
ing much less. The main point is
that folks who are very strenuous
~ on the make are not much
good for anything else, even
though they may be composed OF
the anne sort OF material that en-
inently companionable people are
made of. They are restless crea-
lures. When they are not making
large pots of money, they are
spending what they have made;
buying things, building, playing
ardently with costly new toys.
They lack repose. The condition
Of huctuating means is hostile re-
pose, 1t unsettles habits; habits
of mind and all the habits.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Witch In the Jar.

One of the boys and girls acts as
witch or wizard. Each of the other
players chooses tree or anything else
for ''home."
The witch then traces out on the
ground with a stick as many circles
as there ore players and calls these
circles Jars
The players all run out from their
''homes," and the witch runs after
them. Every one that she catches she
puts in one of her jars. The captiyes
must remain in their jars unless they
are released by touch from some
uncaptured player. If released he can
not be recaptured until after he has
reached his "home" and started out
from it once again
But his reScuer runs great risk of be-
ing captured, as the witch naturally
keeps close guard over the prisoners
and stands ready to pounce down upon
any would be rescuer.
When every player has been caught
a new witch or wizard is chosen and
the game goes merrily on again.

Did you ever see juggler blow a
stream of sparks from his mouth? OF
course you wondered how he could
possibly keep fire in his mouth without
getting burned, for he must have fire
there in order to blow out the sparks.
1t is a neat trick He rolls some flax
or hemp into hall about the size of a
walnut and then sets fire to it and lets
it burn until it is nearly consumed.
Then, while it is still burning, he rolls
more fax or hemp around it and thus
confines the fire, in which condition it
will live for long time. When he Is
ready to perform the trick he slips the
ball into his mouth and by breathing
through it makes sparks fly out, with
an effect that is quite startling to those
who do not know how it is done OF
course while he is performing the trick
he has to breathe in air through his
nostrils only

A Rabbits Foot.

Did you ever hear of the custom
among the colored people of the south
of carrying rabbits foot in the peck
ct for good luck? That little animal is
regarded by them with superstit.ous
admiration, and they tell many stories
of its cleverness in outwitting its nat
ural enemies. the dog, the fox and the
wolf, and in circumventing every
scheme intended for its punishment
This belief In the sagacity of the living
rabbit gave rise TO belief that dead
rabbit has certain magic powers, and
one of the evidences of the superstition
is the custom of carrying the foot,
not only for good luck, but as a charm
against disease 1t is the left hind foot
that is preferred, and If it be taken
from a rabbit that was in the habit of
running through a graveyard it's effica.
cy is largely increased.
