Venezuela.

Those laborioUs persons who waded
through the Presidents message and
found nothing there in the nature of a
menace to the peace and safety of vene-
zuela are still ait loss TO account for
the omission.
For some years past il has been a
leading feature Of our policies" to bully
Venezuela at irregular but frequent In
tervals. II is f4ct, moreover, that the
predatory claimants in respect of that
rich country's convertible possessions
and resources are as close as ever to the
White House in the persons of their rep
resentatives. Does any one imagine, for
example, that General FRANCIS FINToN
GREENE, OF the fiercely rolling eye and
the protruding diaphragm, has lost his
grip or any part Of it on THEODORE
RoOsEvELT's impetuOus credulity? As
matter Of fact all the old forces and cony
ditions we're alive while the President
was preparing his message, and yet those
forces and conditions have received no
sort of notice.
For several days after the delivery of
the message thoughtful men were Won

Peace Congress was sitting at Washing

persons here and there who believe or

not been entirely Obliterated, and al
though Venezuela declined to take part
in the conference it was a very open
secret indeed that she had the sympathy
of those who did participate. In some
particularly hopeful if rather obscure
quarters, therefore, reassuring theories
found asylum and timid little rainbows
twinkled on the edges of the dark.
The apprehensiOns Of the general
public, however, continue to offer TO
President ROOSEVELT the tribute he has

at Washington is that he meditates

such are the strange freaks in which

courage, with an irresistible charm of
manner, with a temper which even his
wife failed to disturb, with a brain
that no sophistry could obscure and
with military genius before which
criticism is humbly silent.
He was treacherous even In treach-

life. He used his fellow creatures for
his own purposes, and when he had no

serene implacability of impersonal

Indian Punishment.

Some idea of what BarOda, India,
was in times comparatively recent
may be gathered from the following
A hundred elephants were kept at the
expense of the state, and criminals
were executed in a most horrible man
ner The poor wretch, tied hand and
foot, was fastened by a long rope round
the waist to the elephants hind leg.
Then the animal was made to trot
through the city, and the man, at al
most every step rebounding against
stones and obstacles, soon became a
mass of bruises and wounds and a
CHASTITY spectacle. If he survived this.
his head was placed on a block. and

THE AGE OF FISHES.
Both Ear Stones and Scales Garry the
Annual Tally.

Both Ear Stones and Scales Carry the
Annual Tally.
1t has been found by ichthyologists
that the age of fish may be read from
its scales These increase in size by
annular grOwths, two rings being form
ed each year. The 'OtOliths" or ear
stones. which lie in two sacS on either
side of the base of the cranial cavity,
afford another means Of determination.
Like the scales, the otOlithS increase
by two rings annually. Each spring
that is, from February to June-a white
ring is formed, and each autumn-that
is, from July to October-a black one.
Thus the number of either white or
black rings in an otolith gives the age
Of the fish in years. In the case OF
fatfsh the latter method has been
found more reliable, whereas in the
case Of the cod the scales give a bet
ter result Although varying much III
size and shape in different species, the
otoliths show a remarkable constancy
in the same species: hence they are
of considerable value in the diagnosis
of a Species.-LOnGon Globe.

A Lesson In Philanthropy.

all conditions of the highway.
The average cost of making
the delivery is reckoned at
25 cents per ton per mile.
Now let the farmers boys and
girls get their paper and pen
ellis and estimate the cost of
marketing the produce from
their home farms, and find the
difference between that and
what it would be with good
roads over which the aver
age load, with the same team
and wagon and driver and
road expense might be from
two and one half to three
tons. Then carry the esti-
mate far enough to include
all the farms that send their
produce over the same road
to market, and see how far
the saving would reach in a
year toward the making of a
road that would be passable
with a load at all seasons of
the year.

THE SULTAN'S SCREEN.

There is a story told of a famous and
curious screen which occupies prOmi-

of Turkey. 1t is made. so rumor hath
it, of human skin, perfectly tanned and
deliberately fooled and embossed, and
it has been in the royal quarters for
more than two centuries. This remark
able screen Is not an evidence of cru
city or barbarity on the part of Tur
keys ruler 200 years ago, but is a
memorial to twelve faithful servants
of a former sultan. At one time dur
ing the Sultan'S reign POO years ago
a wing of the palace caught fire, and
during the confiagration IL much loved
member of the sultanS family was res
cued by twelve servants. The twelve
servants persisted, some of them dying
later of their wounds and burns, SO
his majesty had their skins removed
by an expert and had them preserved
In this touching though remarkable
manner. The screen is now looked up
on as a part Of the rulers Inheritance,
and it is said that every sultan cher

GETTING PRODUCTS

Good Roads Means of Saving
Much Time and Money to
the Farmers.


A reduction of Il to 2 cents

rates for farm produce means
a large amount in the aggr e.

consin and every time an or
der has been made by the
railroad commission reducing
the rates on wheat, or on
cheese. or on any other farm
product, we congratulate the
farmers, who are supposed to
reap the benefit in increased
prices for what they have to
sell.
But there is another chance
to save on the cost of getting
to market-a chance nearer
home than the shipping sta
