New Source of Starch.

In a bulletin of the Jamaica De-
oartment of Agriculture il. H. Cous-
ins, the Government chemist, states
that the high percentage Of starch in
the cassava makes the Inter more
valuable than the potato as a source
of this substance. The cassava is
also not subject to the fungoid dis
eases prevalent in the German pota-
to fields, from which large proper
ton of the starch now sold in Great
Britain is derived. The cassava sea-
son is unrestricted, and this gives a
further Important advantage over
the one-crop-a-year potato. Mr..
Cousins apparently believes that the
manufacture of starch from the cas-
sava can be done so cheaply that the
German potato starch will be- driven
from the English market.-Argus.

A LADY WITH MONEY.

Oh, it is funny, how Mrs. Honey,
With all her money, still knows no Joy;
With all her treasure, and all her leisure
She hunts Tor pleasure. but Fate is coy
With dollars paving, she's ever craving,
And even raving, she longs for peace;
Her joys are bubbles, her discord doubles
And all her troubles they e'er increase.
Though highly scented, she's discontented
And nigh demented, and always cross;
She's always scowling, and ever growing
And even howling;-too bad, of course;
But what are sables, and laden tables,
And jeweled cables, and boundless
wealth.
10 sad conditions, bad dispositions,
And old physicians, and wretched
health?
Her head is aching, her heart is breaking
All drugs she's taking, but no avail;
For all her lotions, and all her potions,
And patent notions, they can but fail
Her heart needs lightness, her mind needs
brightness.
Her ways politeness, | have to tell
For incidentally, all's mental
Were she more gentle-she would be
well.

Willy West Virginian Protects Sheep
by Hanging Out Lights.

In the Williams River country of
West Virginia the bears are greatly
on the increase. There is a blue
grass settlement about the extreme
head of the river, says Recreation,
which has all but been driven out
of the sheep business by bears.
On the Black Mountain run one
man claimed to have identified the
signs of III bears in one days hunt.
That seems good many bears, but
| have hunted and fished so long
and told about my adventures at so
many campfires that l cannot con-
sistently deny anything.
Nevertheless, every now and then
a hunter runs upon a bear and kills
it. Premeditated killing of bears is
rarely known, as this wisest of the
forest animals knows well how to
avoid men. A. rabbit is courageous
compared to black bear. This
shows the superior intelligence OF
Bruin.
A ut twenty years ago an un-
armed fisherman killed bear with a
large stone at the Red Hole. He was
resting at the top of precipitous
bank of Mauch Chunk shale when a
bear, chased by dogs, came into the
river and passed at the foot of the
bank. The man cast a large stone
down upon it and stunned it so that
he was able to kill 1t. 1t was a two
year-old. The occurrence is well au-
thenticated.
The sheep killers are generally the
biggest bears of them all and are
very wise. They never enter a field
without first making complete cir
cult to see if a man has crossed the
fence. If he has they withdraw.
One sheep raiser found that hang
ing a half dozen lighted lanterns
about his farm caused the bears to
leave his flock severely alone.

you put them into a salad and let
them lie in cold water.
Turpentine will remove tar from any
kind of fabric.
Always wash the dishcloth thorough
ly and hang in the sunshine to dry
after each using.
Nandkerchiefs will have faint
scent of violets if small piece OF
orris root is put in the water in which
they are boiled.
When roasting or baking meat in
the oven place the dripping pan on
dish of water to prevent the gravy
burning or boiling away.
Chocolate and cocoa stains can be
removed by washing the fabric with
soap in tepid water
If clothes are hung on the line neat
ly and smoothly much labor will be
saved when the time for ironing
comes.
A tablespoonful of paraffin added to
each three gallons of water when boil

the stains.
Have handy a stone or steel for
sha "pening knives and keep the knives
in good condition. Good tools make
rapid work.
If eggs are to be boiled hard, have

erence law has never been given full

handled. The defense in that case adj

indications are that the law makes

SELL RYE FOR WHEAT.
Charge Made by Grain Inspector Rad
ford Against Elevator Men.

John Radford, in giving his testi-
mony in the fight between the eleva-
tors and the Kansas grain inspection
department, at Kansas City yesterday,
made counter charges of serious nature
against the Union Pacific elevator,
tending to show that the elevator com
panies were guilty of mixing rye With
wheat, and that this practice, unless
controlled by the grain department,
would result in great detriment to the
grain trade.
He said that in the past three years
thirty-eight cars of rye had been re-
ceived and unloaded in the Union Pa
cihc elevator in Armourdale. Only
two cars of rye had been shipped out
of that elevator in the past three years.
he added. Mr.. Radford testified that
during these years his inspectors have
found rye mixed with good wheat
leaving the Union Pacific elevator.
During the past three years. he says,
the price of rye has averaged 20 cents
lower on the bushel than the price of
wheat. If 40. 900 bushels Of rye. there
fore, could be mixed with wheat and
the combination sold for the regular
$4,000 on the deal. for each of the
10000 bushels of rye which he put in
the mixture would net him 20 cents
profit. over and above the profit on the
natural increase in the price of the
wheat
Mr.. Radford. on direct examination,
testified as follows:
O. Have you any record in your Of
fee showing the amount of rye re-
ceived and placed in the Union Pacific
elevator?
A. Yes.
@. State what amount Of rye has
been unloaded in that elevator during
the past three years?
A. Thirty-eight cars.
@. State whether any cars Of rye
were shipped out of that elevator in
the past three years?
A. Yes, sir: two cars.
O. Has the department been obliged
to grade any cars at q low grade for
the rea son that rye was mixed with the
wheat?
A. yes sir. I do not know in how
many instances.

GOULD MUST PAY.
Court Awards Judgment Against Him
for s4,77

New York, June 16.-By a decision
rendered IN the appellate division
Sheriff Hays is entitled to collect
SALTS in poundage fees from George
J. Gould. This decision reverses the
order of Supreme Court Justice F'itz-
gerald, in which it was held that the
sheriff was entitled to about $3.50.
Mr.. Gould IS one Of three defend
ants in suit brought by John S.
Jones, an Ohio railroad man. to re-
cover $466,000 on an alleged contract
by which Jones agreed to purchase
for Gould, Joseph Ramsey. Jr.. and
William E. Guy, who constituted the
Little Kanawha syndicate. a large
tract Of coal land in Ohio. Jones al
leges that he fulfilled his contract but
was unable to collect either his com
missions on the purchase or his ex-
penses.
He got an attachment against
George J. Gould. and cash and secuFi-
ties valued at several hundred dollars
on deposit with the Mercantile Trust
company were seized by the sheriff.
Gould released the levy by giving an
undertaking in 100000 to secure
Jones. Gould then demurred to pay
ing the salts IN poundage fees, and
counsel for the sheriff appealed from
Justice Fitzgerald's order for which
he sustained Gould. Justice Nc
Laughlin, for the court says that
where a levy Is made the sheriff's
right to poundage fees Is absolute and
the amount is fixed by statute. Hence
Gould Is not entitled to the return of
his property until he pays the statII-
tory fees in full.

About a thousand persons attended

gathering wore deep mourning.
The pupils of public schools So and %
attended in a body, the girls in white
with Grape arm bands the boys in
their Sunday best. The children, a few
of them survivors but the greater num-
Der orphans of the wreck, brought tears
to many an eye.
The crowd gathered early and cover
ed the graves of the victims. both
known and unidentified, with flowers.
Then a band led the mournera to
the graves where the unidentified dead
were buried in tiers.
Congressman Sulzer, to whose dis
trict most of the victims belonged, made
the principal address.
