The eyes Of the yellow people are not
oblique, Notwithstanding that they ap-
pear to be. The line adjoining the
commissures of the eJeiids divides the
eye into two equal parts, and Is ex-
actly at right angles with the axis Of
the nose. It is not always SO; the ex-
ception is much less frequent than in
the whites. for, as a general rule, 1t IS
in the latter that the eyes are not at
right angles with the axis OF the nose.

HOG CHOLERA.

Hog cholera as disease may be dA
rectly traced to immature breeding, ins
sanitary care and poor feeding. The
common conception Of the pig is that
1t does best amid filthy surroundings
and that it should largely obtain Its food
as scavenger, when the truth is that
there is no more Clearly animal on the
farm than the pig. Immature breeds
ing lays the foundation for lack Of
vitality and constitutional vigor. CouJ
pied with this Is the poorly balanced
ration which Is so common among hog
raisers. It is probably true that II the,
pigs were insured q parentage never
less than year old and were theri
raised on alfalfa, clover, skim milk and
other heterogeneous foods, the cholera as
an endemic disease would entirely disc
appear from the country. While corn
Is. an admirable fattening food, 1t r.
about the worst food to be obtained for
the young and growing pigs. and IL
would be well for them II they never
saw an ear of 1t until they are at leas
six months old.

Through much Of the west the feed

years. Taking the four years, It may
be said that as proposition it has not

have been able to feed cattle with a

nothing to show but mortgage and a

reason we feel like commencing the

the market for her product is practical

Puhiic and

1t is an old and justified complaint
among transportation mana gers that
they receive little or no intelligent as
sistance from the public in their efforts
to solve the problems arising from
congested traffic conditions. Chief
Engineer RICE of the Rapid Transit
Commission has been investigating the
subway, and he reports:
lit is clearly apparent that passengers do not
properly distribute themselves through The trains
n, any hour OF the day. the two end cars being less
crowded than those in the centre, In many in
stances the central cars are crowded with ISLANDERS.
while there are seats vacant In the cnd cars"
For it's neglect to act wisely the public
has suffered for years, and generations
of street car men have labored in vain
to reform it. But not all the discom-
forts Of travel in New York are traoeable
70 the foolish haSits Of the passengers.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-03-19

Mr.. RICE watched the subway trains as
well as the passengers. He had the
official train schedules, which were
furnished to him by the operating COM
pany. Forty inspectors kept tabs on
tire I'M, comparing them with the time
tables, q I'd they found that the sched-
ules we're not maintained and that to a
great extent there was no evidence OF
any attempt to maintain them"
SO it is not entirely the fault of aselfsh
public that the subway service is not as
good as it might be. The company ia
not furnishing the service it advertises
and there is mo evidence that it is try
ing to do 80.
Great as are the powers of the Rapid
Transit Board, it is improbable that it
can compel the majority of passengers
to give up their old habits of crowding
into the cara nearest the street entrances.
The board is unlikely to attempt any such
task. 1t might try to make the company
do its best, however. The result of a
general bracing up in the service would
certainly not be harmful.
