Still the Horse Flourishes.

Still the Horse Flourishes.
The horse is always about to be
but never is put out of business.
On the appearance of every new
agency of transportation the an
nouncement is solemnly made
that the horse, after passing
through an era of decreasing
prices, will cease and determine.
1t was so when railroads began to
gain Roadway, when bicycles came
into use, when the electric cars
commenced to buzz along the
highways, when the auto devel-
oped into something more than a
curiosity, and yet here the horse
is still with us and more valuable
than ever. Statistics submitted
to the house of representatives in
connection with the agricultural
appropriation bill show that there
has been a notable increase both
in the number and value of horses
in the United States in the last
nine years. The aggregate #
horses January l, 1906, stood at
1S,718,578, against 14,364,667 at
the corresponding date of 1897.
Their total value increased from
$452, 649, 1896 in 1897 to $780,

A CANADIAN EDITORS IDEA

A Canadian magazine has been not
ing how our country has governed the
Philippines and sums it up as follows:
All is not going smoothly in the
governing Of those islands, One ma
tive governor is said to have made a
strong protest against the 'grafters'
and virtue despoilers' from the United
States. AS a cons sequence, President
Roosevelt is likely to make some
early changes in both the methods
and the men. Industrially and COM
mercially the Americans have done
we'll, but morally they are having an
evil influence in Manila and other
large towns. A people whose gods
are money and RIGHTEOUSNESS cannot
but expect to be criticised by nations
who have still a little faith in culture,
religion, and virtuous living
From the earliest times it has been
the fact that subjected race and it's
rulers revel and wallow in the lowest
depths of debauchery. A great many
adventures are always ready TO mi
crate to subjected countries for the
express purpose of roofing: and wal
lowing in just such filth, without let
or hindrance and with no fear of the
muck rake.
At least one case is on record Of an
United States officer having legally
married a Philippine woman and de-
serted ner to marry an heiress in the
United States. But the Philippine
woman followed him to this country
and raked him up or down, which
ever it was.
The Canadian editor when referring
J to us as a people whose gods are
money and Righteousness should not
forget that his nation and all other
alleged Christian nations are just as
bad as we are and the Belgians a
blamed sight worse.

NEW UNDER THE
SLIM

THE APPEAL never expected to
see an eulogy Of John Brown in a
Southern journal. THE APPEAL was
therefore greatly surprised at finding
the following in the Baptist Flag OF
Fulton, Kentucky:
THE martyr never dies. John
Brown was hung for treason, but
John Browns body fred the hosts
that went marching through Georgia
to the accomplishment of what John
Brown was hung for. The United
States lung John Brown, then pro-
ceeded to do the very thing for which
his neck was broken"
\Such an expression is evidence OF
the fact that men in the South are
beginning to enjoy the privilege of
free thought and free speech. For a
Southern journal to rate John Brown
as a martyr and not reckless incen~
diary is something new under the sun.

Priceless Tapestries.

There are indications that the
three tapestries representing
summer, autumn and winter,
hanging in the Boston museum
of fine arts and owned by Mrs.
John 7. Morse, Jr., are the works
of the master, Charles LIE Brun,
which were mysteriously taken
from the Palais Royal in Paris
after the fire during the revolu-
ton. If this is true they are al
most priceless gems of art.

The Right Attitude.

There is everything in holding
the right attitude toward life.
People can tell whether there is
victory or defeat in your face
and your bearing, whether you
have conquered or failed, wheth-
er you have winning or losing
material in you. # you wear the
air Of the yanquished in life, no
employer will want you. There
must be victory in your bearing.

MUSIC IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Transvaal Has Become a Great
Purchaser of Pianos and
Organs.

Recently Consul Snodgrass, Of
Pretoria, was requested by a
number of American Manufac-
turers Of musical instruments to
give them information concern
ing the trade in South Africa,
tor the purpose of extending
their lines in competition with
the United Kingdom and Ger
many, the two nations that ap-
pear to have made the greatest
advances during the last three
years in that market. He said:
"While the war and droughts
have had bad effect on these
colonies and the purchase of lux
uries for the home, such as pi-
amos and organs, $1,O00,OOO to
$l,50O,O0O is being spent annu-
ally from the Cape to the Fam
best upon musical instruments.
The Transvaal has become a
great purchaser of musical in
struments. Where in 1902 $780,
80 was thus spent, in 1908 the
figures increased to $176,120, and
in 1904 a grand total Of 1910, 485
was expended. This indicates
somewhat the permanence Of
home making against the preva-
lent theory that South Africa is
only transient abiding place
since the discovery of rich min
erals. The Transvaal country
purchased musical goods in 1904
from Germany to the value Of
$163, 2SO, from England, $92,015
worth, and $39,59O from the
United States.
Germany has far outstripped
all competitors, having increased
its sales in musical instruments
tenfold in two years, and lead
ing the United Kingdom, despite
its preferential duty of two and
a half per cent, by almost double
in importations. The United
States increased its trade about
fourfold in the same period, but
enjoys only one-fourth of the
trade of Germany, while France,
through making a large showing
in the grand total, multiplied it's
exports of 1903 by 20. Great Brit
ain holds. about 40 per cent. of
this important musical trade in
the whole of South Africa. the
proportion being about 100000.
OF this one-fifth represents trans
shipped foreign goods. Ger
many's share is about II per
cent, and that Of the United
States only eight per cent. Great
Britain and Germany have the
honors almost equally divided in
the case of pianos, though Amer
lean pianos are gaining in public
favor, and by observing the sug-
gestions of dealers sales will in,
crease.

USE DASHER CHURNS.
Even in this Day Of Creameries, But

Fashioned Way,

The chances are ten TO one or better
that the butter you buy at the grocery
store now was made in a creamery, for
the great bulk OF the butter consumed
in this country is made in milk estab-
lishments. But there is still some but
ter made by hand. and I'VE still sell
churns right along"
The greater number of the individ-
ual churns now sold, said a churn
manufacturer in Chicago recently, in
speaking of the growth of the cream
cry business, are of the cylinder type,
operated by crank, turning within
the churn wheel with paddles, some-
times like the paddlewheel of a steam
boat; but We still sell as we'll, churns
of the oldfashloned type, such as our
grandmothers used, and such as their
grandmothers used before them. /

dasher churn is still, as it has always
been, painted blue.
Who still buys these old styles hand

They are bought by small farmers

breathe defiance to all hazers and re-
cite instances of their physical pow

pointment. One of the letters recently

as follows:

with a hand churn. Some of these
farmers might make more butter than
they would require for their own use:
and the surplus they would sell as
they would their surplus eggs, to the
country store.
And you find larger farmers, too.
farmers perhaps keeping many cows
and selling the bulk of their milk to
a creamery, still continuing to make
the butter that they need for them
selves and making it, as they have al
ways done, in a hand churn.
Such churns are sold to people llv-
ing in suburban or country homes and
keeping cows, who make their own
butter because they prefer to. anyway
and they are bought by various people
everywhere who want sweet or un-
salted butter and who make it for
themselves in hand churns.
America exports churns TO the West
Indies and South America and to New
Zealand and Australia and to dairying
countries in various other parts of The
world; but we still supply our own
people with the old-fashioned dasLer

IMMIGR1IION LEGISL1-
TON.

The Committee on immigration of
the House of Representatives has re-
ported a bill raising the head tax on
aliens from 80 to IS, requiring each
male adult to possess not less than S25
and each female SIS, providing that
every immigrant over 16 years shall
be able to read and write in some Ian
guage, and placing in the excluded
class imbeciles, the weak-minded and
manual laborers of poor physique. The
Department of Commerce and Labor
is given discretion to admit or exclude
immigrants under 16 years of age
coming to this country alone. The
proposed law, it is stated, would sift
out a good many undesirable persons.
