Religious Parades.
Writing from the City of Mexico, I'M
der date of February 20. Mr.. Goodding
says:
81 also saw some very interesting
religious parades and services at
Amecameca on Ash Wednesday. The
people paraded a black Christ around
in a glass case, crawled up Sacre
Monte on their knees and a few other
such feats. Sacre Monte Is the Mount
Zion of Mexico, and during Lent about
100000 natives make p~ilgrimages to
1t. There were fully 40, 900 there while

tell you stories a mile long about their
idol worship, their immense churches,
the affairs of gold and silver. their
miraculous images, etc.

Il am sending you a picture of the
largest temple in Mexico, which took
over a hundred years in the building,
and which has two affairs, one costing
S2,OOO,OOO and the other $1,000, 900.
one church has thirty-five tons of sill
yer in its altar. Then, too, l can tell
you of the sleek priests who take the
widows mite, and of the widow who
walks the streets barefooted and half
clothed, carrying on her back burdens
that Wyoming's convicts could not
carry, in order to get that mite to
feed those priests"

With the reduction of railroad pas

legislature to 2 cents a mile, which are
scheduled to go into effect tomorrow
morning, a marked difference in the
fare from Colorado to Chicago and
other points in the east will be noticed,
says the Denver Republican. 1t is CIV
en- out that the action of the Nebraska
legislature, which hustled the rate bill
through with noteworthy speed, to-
gether with recent reductions in Iowa
and Illinois, will lower the fare from
Denver to Chicago at least Sc to 50.
Railroads may seek revenge by refus-
ing to make any special rates in the
future, it is said.
Railroads Are Hostile.

the action as q big benefit that Will be

likely that with the loss of l cent per

Leslie Gooddins, Collecting Seeds and

Last year the Transvaal government
applied to the University of California
for a competent man to collect seeds
and her, arium specimens on the high
table lands of Mexico. That institu-
ton not having n to recommend, the
choice fell upon Mr.. Goodding of the
University of Wyoming, who is widely
known as a most efficient collector.
The purpose of the exploration is to
secure from this continent forage and
other economic plants suitable for in,

Report Made Public.

Trenton, N. j., March 6.-The report
of the select committee of the senate
appointed last year to investigate the
subject Of life insurance in the state
was made public today.
Refers to Prudential.
BY far the greater part of the re
port is devoted to the Prudential In
surance company of America. The re
port contains an extended review OF
the Prudential from the time of its
organization to the present, when the
company shows a surplus Of SIS, 500,
600.
Drastic Recommendation.
1t is claimed, say the report, "that
this surplus belongs to the stockhold
ers, subject to the contingent liability
to policyholders. this money ought in
some way to be assured to the policy
holders. Rather than allow this &C
emulation to go on for the benefit o.
stockholders, at an expense to the pol
icyholders, we would favor the repea
of the charter of the corporation. Blu
the committee does not think such
remedy necessary"
Modified Suggestion.
In place of this extreme measure
the committee recommends that the
assets of the insurance company be
limited to $4,000 900 and restricting
the profits to the stockholders to ter
per cent.

What Meat is Tough.

Lean meat, which is another name
for muscular tissue, is composed of
small cells or fibers, microscopical in
size grouped in bundles. The fiber
bundle is a stingy particle of flesh,
seen in boiled beef for example. These
are bound together into muscles and
the muscles into pairs of larger groups
The material which envelops the bun
dies of fibers extends between the
fibers within the bundles and also sur
rounds the entire muscles. 1t is
tough, fibrous, elastic substance called
connective tissue. Besides holding
the fibers and the bundles together, it
acts as a storehouse of fat about the
muscles, between the bundles or
among the bundles themselves. Tough
ness in meat is largely due to this con-
nective tissue and depends upon
changes in texture of the muscle cell
itself, which are little understood, as
in fact are all changes in the cell sub
stance of animals or plants. The
principal question then becomes main
ly one as to the effect of age, quality
and condition of the animal upon the
amount and character of the connec-
tive tissue and upon the texture of the
cell substance. A mature COW in thin
condition has coarser meat, that is to
say, larger muscle fibers and fiber
bundles than a young heifer of equal
quality-referring to fineness of bone,
skin, hair and general features and to
smoothness of flesh. Coarseness of
grain involves an increased amount of
connective tissues and toughness is
the logical result.

The Control of Hog Cholera.
(PrOf. r. A. Craig.)


Scattering outbreaks of hog chol-
era are present in many sections of
the country. These outbreaks, and in
fected yards as WE'LL are the centers
from which the disease spreads. An
other important factor in perpetual
ing the disease from year to year, is
the feeding of infectious materials to
hogs in order to immunize them.
Such methods of immunization cause
a light form of the disease; the
germs become scattered about the
yards and the health of neighboring
herds is endangered.
In neighbOrhoOds where outbreaks
of hog cholera occur, stOckmen should
practice such precautions as are neces-
sary against the spread of the disease.
The control work should not be left
to the owner of the diseased herd.
When this disease occurs on farm,
the herd should be quarantined and
all possible precautions taken against
the spread of the infection to neigh
boring herds. The diseased animals
should not be scattered over the farm,
or allowed to run in yards that Dor
der on streams, and hogs that have a
chronic form of the disease must be
prevented from straying away or mix
ing with neighboring herds. Other
farm animals should not be allowed to
run through infected yards. The hog
houses, feeding floors, etc., should be
cleaned daily and disinfected. The
most convenient and practical disin-
fectants to use are the tar disinfectants
or stock dips. These may be used in
from to per cent water solutions.
The final cleaning up of the premises
must be thorough. All litter should
