plans in which President Harper had
taken an active part, were in progress
for the reviving of the Chicago uni
versity, which was at that time lead.
ing precarious existence.
In June, 1891, DR.. Harper assumed
his duties of president of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. His aim was to
make the university one of the great
est educational institutions in the
world, and his untiring energy and
devotion to his scholastic ideals en-
abed him to make his early wish a
realization.
His views regarding higher educa-
tion met with the approval of the
greatest minds of the time. and it is
almost entirely due to President Har-
per's boundess energy that the en-
dowments were secured for the uni
versity
Almost in day after accepting the
difficult task of rehabilitating the uni
versity DR.. Harper gathered around
him the brightest scholars in Amer-
ca and created a faculty of an ability
equaling that of a university with a
history of century.
Four children, three sons and a
daughter, were born of his union with
Miss Ellen Paul.

Our Bills for Sugar and Coffee.

More money was paid in the United
States last year for sugar than for any
other single article ever imported dur
ing any one year.
Our own territories are important
producers, Hawaii supplying $4,000
600 worth, Porto Rico 1900 900, and
the Philippines 1,5O0, which with
the $97,000000 worth from foreign
countries, gives grand total of about
81 46,000,O00 as our sugar bill for 1905.
The United States is the greatest
sugar market in the world. OF the
5000 million pounds of sugar annually
consumed in this country, only about
1000 million pounds is our home prod
uct.
Coffee is, next to sugar the largest
item in the home expenses of Ameri-
cans. In 1905 we imported 047, ,OOO,
900 pounds, or nearly twice as much as
in 1894 The price has fallen from
about sixteen to eight cents a pound.
Four pounds out of every i've in the
United States comes from Brazil

A Trap for Rabbits and Mice

From an old siX-inch pine fence
board cut off four pieces two and a
half feet long, and one six inches
square for the end of the trap and
another four inches by eight inches
for the door. Use old boards, as rev
boards scare rabbits.
1t should be four inches wide and six
inches high on the inside. The top
and bottom boards project one inch
beyond side boards at the back and
end board is set in. The top board
should be two inches shorter than the
sides at the front. Nail strip on the
top board back of door and one on the
bottom board so game cannot push
the door open from inside the trap
and get out
In the middle of the top board bore
a hole and put crotched stick in for
the lever to rest on. Bore another
hole in the top of the door for the
lever to pass through. Two inches
from the back of the box bore a hole
for the trigger. WHICH should be made
out of heavy wire. The door of the

AS show place the park and gard
ems at Versailles are great asCrac-
tion to tourists. The fountains are
the largest in the world, and on spe-

or great waters" play, thousands
throng out from Paris TO see them.
The woods contain numerous cam

where marble benches for repose, and
beautiful statuary are found. There
still remains, also, near the palace, ;,
the beautiful marble colonnade o. a
classic circus. where royalty was en-.
tertained with games.
After the enforced return of the
court Of Louis XVI to Paris, in Octo-
Der. 1889, Versailles was never again
used as royal residence.
Its art collection. dating from che
Napoleonic regime, is chiefly modern.
Architecturally the palace, with its
long facades on the west, is monot-
onous. but in detail more interesting,
as it is the greatest example we have
of the work of Jules Mansart QG45-

Gen. Hamilton's japanese.

Sir Ian Hamilton, in his book on
the Russo-Japanese war, relates an
amusing incident in connection with
his stay at Toxic. where he was en-
chanted by the smiles of the gel
shas.' He met woman called the
Hon. Miss Sparrow, and asked an in
terpreter to say to her that he would
like to carry her off in a beautiful
golden cage. The compliment did
not please the woman. She suked,
and soon went away. Sir Ian took
some pains to find out why, and he
ventually discovered that his speech
had been translated thus: .As you are
a sparrow, wish you would shut
yourself up in box. X.'-Westminste

Health of the Aon

This is the time of year when the
hogs will begin to go into winter quar-.
ters. 1t is now, if ever, that they
will contract lung disease. For that
reason 1t stands us in hand to pay
particular attention TO the hygiene OF
our pens. 1t has been thought that
the hog can live in anything in the
shape of a pen and eat anything that
is put before him and give us good,
sweet. wholesome pork. That is not
so. We need good, clean pens, fur.
nished with good ventilation and yet
warm enough to keep the hogs from
taking cold. When we do this we will
hear less about the number of hogs
which have tuberculosis in our coun.
try. This will also bring our pork
into better repute in foreign markets

Sick TURKEYS,

T. M. A. writes as follows: 81 have
some turkeys that were perfectly
healthy till short time ago. Then
their heads began to swell up and
now are swollen to twice their nat
ural size and some of the turkeys
have died. What is the cause of this.
and Is there any cure for it? Will
the chickens take it from the tur.
keys?"
The trouble is evidently roup, which
is common to both turkeys and hens.
II the chickens run with the turkeys
they are liable to take 1t. This is
not sure to be the case, for the reason
that there are probably several dis
tinct germ diseases that are called
roup. We know that there are at
least two. The fact is poultry dis
eases have not yet been thoroughly
studied by the scientists for the pur-
pose of determining what germs cause
certain diseases. We know that some
kinds of roup affect both turkeys and
chickens; We do not know that some
kinds may not be confined to one
class Of farm fowls.
Roup is the most dreaded of all the
diseases that affect turkeys, and if the
birds are sick with it we do not know
Of any better remedy than killing
and burying them. They certainly are
not fit to be eaten, and it is doubtful
II they will be fit to eat at any time
after having recovered from the dis.
ease. Chickens affected with roup
have been cured apparently and then
dressed for the table. In such cases
they have had to be thrown away, as
there were collections of slime be.
tween the layers of flesh even in th,
legs.
Prevention of the disease is the only
thing that can be recommended.

Decline Of Rural Populations.

Twenty-one Of the sixty-one counties
of New York had fewer inhabitants by
the census of 1900 than they had by
the census of 1890. These counties,
which include one-half of the area OF
the state showing a falling off in ten
years ranging from few hundred OF
inhabitants in somo small counties to
several thousand in some Of the larger
ones.
Essex county in northern New York,
for instance, declined from $4,000 to
30,700 in the ten years. Wayne
county, in western New York, famous
for apples and mint, declined from
49,700 to 4S,600

SUGGESTIONS for Reauests.

The action of George Gait, an Amer
ican millionaire, in bequeathing his
body to be dissected for the benefit
of science indicates a line of investi-
CATION which might do much for the
advance of medicine. The deceased
gentleman had suffered long from
some obscure malady which baf-
fed the skill of his physicians. And
every year a number of people die of
strange diseases which doctors have
been unable to diagnose. If postmor-
TEN examinations could be held on
such persons the actual disease might
be compared with the symptoms OBJ
served during life and thus a step
would be taken toward the discovery
of a remedy.-London Globe.
