The upper house of the Austrian, or
Cisleithan, reichsrath has accepted with
out amendment the bill establishing uni
vcrsal suffrage, which previously had been
passed by the House of Representatives
London papers reported that James
Bryce had refused a peerage and would
20 to the United States as ambassador
without changing his name, and thus be
the first plain citizen to represent his
country at Washington.
Just as it came from the French Cham
Der of Deputies, the new church and state
separation act was finally passed by the
Senate, 100 to 100. This was directed
against those churchmen who had re-
fused to accept the original separation
law of 1905, and all clergy who refused
under orders from the Pope to give over
possession of their residences and church
properties to the state do so on penalty
Of losing pensions. While the priests have
disregarded the law providing for re-
ligious associations, the laity have made
the necessary declarations to protect the
churches and other places of worship,
1t is presumed that the other ecclesi-
astical buildings will be rented to the
bishops and priests at a nominal figure,
just as the clergy who have said most
without making a legal declaration to
hold a public meeting have had only
nominal fines imposed upon them.
The French minister of finance has
ordered the minis to substitute on all
coin the words liberty, equality and fra
ternity" for the old device God protect
France" Minister of Education BRAND
announced that the church buildings taken
possession of by the state would be de
voted to educational and museum pur-
poses, the seminary of st. Sulpice at
Paris becoming part of the Luxembourg
museum. The expelled sisters of the As,
sumptionists order left Paris for Bel
GUM, in the midst of a throng of sym.
pathizers, who shouted: Down with yhe

Disease Among Sheep.

A peculiar disease has been dis
covered among sheep by Dr.. S. B. Mel
son, state veterinarian and professor
of veterinary science in the Washing
ton State college.
A microscopic examination of the
lungs and intestines of the sheep show
the presence of parasites in both or
gans. The parasite is a small worm
which makes it's habitat in the bron-
chi of the sheep, causing bronchitis
and pneumonia, from which the sheep
soon die.
Experiments have shown that sue
cessful way of treating the sheep
when the disease is first discovered
is to shut them in tight room and
fumigate them with sulphur smoke for
Is minutes. This treatment is repeat
ed in one or two weeks if the first
treatment does not prove successful

come more and more manifest A very
eminent authority has discovered that

prove more destructive to alfalfa than
any combatable influence. Neverthe-
less 1t is strictly true that the plant IL
the greatest destroyer Of weeds known.
This comes not so much from any quail

from the inability Of the weeds to en-

will succumb to this harsh treatment

Therefore, 1t is wise to select weedy
piece of ground for the alfalfa Held

Exclude Some Jap Laborers.

Complying with the provisions of
the immigration act, approved Febru-
airy 20 last, President Roosevelt has
issued an executive order that such
citizens of Japan and Korea, to-wit:
Japanese or Korean laborers, skilled
and unskilled, who have received pass
ports to go to Mexico, Canada or Ha-
waii and come therefrom, be refused
permission to enter the continental
territory of the United States. This
order was issued by the president in
fulfllment of his promise to Mayor
Schmitz and his associates from Cal
itornia, when the negotiations regard
ing the Japanese school question were
had in Washington.

Dry Earth a. ) Diuinfectnnt.

Dry Earth as q Disinfectant.
1t is well known that fine, dry dirt h
one of the best of absOrbents and dis
infectants. 1t is also plentiful, ana
costs nothing but the labor Of han-
ding. 1t makes excellent bedding, n
covered over with few inches of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used in the stalls
without straw, as 1t is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. stan
bedded with dry earth can be cleanea
out in a much shorter time than when
the earth Is not used, and, as dirt alb
serbs the liquids and gases, quite q
saving is effected In that mnNner. It's
use goes beyond the stall. AS the sta
BILE should be cleaned daily, quite q
large quantity of dry earth will 10
used in the course Of a year, and &
will necessarily be added to the heap
itself, yet It's presence therein win
double the value Of the manure by pre-
venting loss of fertillzing material. Ie
is a better absorbent than straw Or

nth a view to uplift the Chinese i'll
r own country, ]. d. Rockefeller is
ming to donate $50,0O0,000. The
that the oil king has decided to
this enormous sum has been
de public by men who were con-
ted by him as to the best method
distributing it so that it will do the
st good. Rockefeller thinks that
100000 will be sufficient to lead
orientals into paths of western
Bilization by endowing in the Chinese
hpire educational institutions free
BIN any religious organization.
The gift, which is the largest single
m ever donated in the interest of
bilanthropic work, is the one Rookie
ller referred to in a guarded way
hen he recently gave $32,O00,OOO to
e cause Of general education. At
lat time he announced that in the
ear future he would have something
say Of greater interest than the
lift to general education. Should the
urpose be realized he hopes a new
power will be added to
he worlds nations. He has given
his matter much thought in recent
ears and finally decided that a sum
Ike that which he will give would be
eeded to carry on the work of up
fling the Chinese. He appreciates
he noble work being done by Christ
an missionaries and at the same
me regrets that they have been I'M
BILE to accomplish more than they
ave.
Rockefeller has learned that the
have conducted their
,ork principally among the lower
lasses. 1t is his intention to change
onditions in this respect. He is de-
irous of having the influential ele
1ent educated first, thereby starting
t the top.
Although Rockefeller has not as yet
7orked out all the details of his plans
, is known that throughout the EN-
ire he will establish educational in
titutions modelled after the one called
he International institute in Shang
AL
At this institution only the better
lass of Chinese are given the advan
age of receiving an education. 1t is
lot his purpose to allow religion tt
le one of the studies. He is, more
nxious that the benefits of home life
II the more enlightened nations
hould be taught.
John D. Rockefeller says there il
10 truth in the report that the OF
ting would give $5O,OO0,O0O to modern
re the Chinese. According to his sec
'etary, Mr.. Rockefeller will leave Au

Grand total ..........ST 06, 100, 600
Such an immense sum being well
worth the saving, the department has
in its employ a large staff Of men who
are studying the life history OF the
pernicious insects to hnd out where
they are vulnerable.
The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. The cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax Of $780,
100000 on the cotton crop, is now con-
trOlled by sprays; it has been proven
that the ravages of the Russian fly
which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
In Indiana 60 per cent besides greatly
impairlng the yield Of the remaining
acreage, can be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the
fly is not so rapacious; the coddllng
moth is controlled by arsenical sprays
and $20,O0O,OOO worth Of apples saved
as a result.
The orange and lemon orchards Of
California have been relieved of the
white scale which threatened to de-
stroy them, by the importation from
Australia of the ladybird, natural
enemy of the scale. Many other in
stances could be given Of the wisdom
Of watching the insects.

Cider-MaI1inE.


The Apple Specialist, in answer to
an inquiry, gives the following instruc-
tons how to make cider and keep it
sweet:
I'm order to make cider the juice
must be extracted from the apples.
This is done by grinding the apples
into a pumice and thus pressing the
juice out. The pumice is laid up in
hoops and held in place by old sacking
made by ripping gunny sacks. 1t is
laid up in cheese form, one above the
other, and pressure applied at the top.
The cider works out through the sack
Ing and is caught in a tub. Hand CT
der mills are made that are excellent
for the work, and sweet cider may be
had at any time. Their is no way to
keep cider sweet without racking it of,
drawing 1t from one barrel to another
several times, letting 1t run through
several thicknesses of flannel to take
out the sediment. 1t must be allowed to
run very slowly 50 as to keep all sedl-
ment in the bottom Of the barrel. When
thoroughly purified the barrel must be
plugged tight and kept in a cool place.
BY boiling and skimming the cider it
will keep sweet but has a slight cook
ed taste. We have made thousands Of
barrels of cider and have tried all
kinds Of schemes to keep 1t sweet and
have found nothing equal to racklng
of. 1t is slow process, however, and
unless well done will not prove effect
ual."
