CARNEGIE ON THE TARIFF
Would Abolish Duty on Oil, Sugar,
Thread and Steel.

New York, Nov. 24.-Calling specif-
tcally for immediate abolition of the
tariff on oil, sugar, thread and steel
Andrew Carnegie, in a signed article
in the December Century magazine,
delivers hard blows at his one time
business associates and fellow money
dictators.
Mr.. Carnegie's contribution is en-
titled my Experience With and View
Upon the Tariff
He pays much attention to the pro-
hibitive tariff on steel, under which
the $1,000,000,000 trust is enabled to
pay fabulous profits. He says in part:
1.-THE day has passed away when
any foreign country can seriously af-
feet our steel manufacturers, tariff or
no tariff. The republic has become
the home of steel and this is the age
of STEEL"
Mr.. Carnegie advocates a reduction
Of duties all along the line on every
thing except wines, whisky, beer and
tobacco, which he calls "luxuries of
the rich"

The First Cookbook.

To the Romans belong the honor of
having produced the first European
cookery book, and, though the author
ship is uncertain, it is generally attrib.
uted to Cactus Apicus, who lived I'M
der Trajan, ia A. D. Here are two
recipes from this ancient collection:
First, for a sauce to be eaten with
boiled fowl, put the following ingredi-
ents into mortar: Aniseed, dried mint
and lazer root. Cover them with vine
gar, add dates and pour in liquamen
"a distilled liquor made from large fish
which were sailed and allowed to turn
putrid in the SUM-, oil and a small
quantity of mustard seeds. Reduce all
to proper thickness with sweet wine
warmed, and then pour this same over
your chicken, which should previously
be boiled in aniseed water''
The second recipe shows the same
queer mixture Of ingredients: stake
a wheelbarrow Of rose leaves and
pound in mortar; add to it brains Of
two pigs and two thrushes boiled and
mixed with the chopped up yoke Of
egg, oil, vinegar, pepper and wine.
Mix and pour these together and stew

STUDENTS IN FREE FIGHT
Germans and Italians in Serious Clash
at Trieste

Vienna, Nov. 24.-The German and
Italian students attending the Univer-
sity of Vienna came into serious col.
lision in the university precincts and
before the police drove the demon
strators away revolvers had been
freely used and several young men
wounded.
The trouble was occasioned by an
Italian demonstration in favor of the
establishment of an Italian university
at Trieste. To this the German speak
ing students objected and they
promptly organized a counter demon
stration. The opposing factions to-
tailed 1900 men and they sang them
selves into the fight with stirring pa
triotic airs, the Italians using the
Garibaldi hymn and the Germans the
"Watch on the Rhine" The Italians
were driven from the building and
gathered in the street outside At
this stage the police appeared.

In the 7aproot Of an Oak.

I remember curious incident con-
nected with the taproot of an oak.
This oak, good tree Of perhaps 200
years growth, was being felled at
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the taproot. On clearing this of
soil we found that the object was a
horseshoe Of ancient make. Obviously
In the beginning an acorn must have
fallen into the hollow of this cast
shoe, and as it grew through the slow
generations the root filed up the cir
Gle, carrying it down into the earth in
the process Of its increase till at
length we found wood and iron thus
strangely welded. That taproot with
the shoe about it is now or used to be
paperweight in the vestibule Of
Brakeman Hall.-Rider Haggard.

Which Foot Walks Faster?

You may think this very silly ques-
tfon to ask, but it isn't 1t is simple,
demonstrable fact, which you can
prove to your own satisfaction in
very few minutes If you will take a
pavement that is clear, so that there
will be no interference, and walk brisk
ly In the center, you will find that be-
fore you have gone fifty yards you
have veered very much to one side.
You must not make any effort, Of
course, to keep in the center, but if you
will think Of something and endeavor
to walk naturally you cannot keep a
direct line. The explanation of this lies
in the propensity of one foot to walk
faster than the other, or one leg takes
longer stride than the other, causing
one to walk to one side. You can try
an experiment in this way by placing
two sticks about eight feet apart, then
stand off about sixty feet, blindfold
yourself and endeavor to walk between
them. You will find it almost impos-
Sible

An Unobservino Thief.

Yosouf owned beautiful horse
which was very valuable. While 70
souf was transacting business thief
stole the horse. The owner shortly
afterward saw the thief leading his
horse and took him before the kaid, or
Judge.
1.-THE horse is mine," sturdily insist
ed the thief
In vain the other argued. and the
kaid was about to give his decision in
favor Of the villain when Yosouf ad-
vanced suddenly, threw his cloak over
the horses head and demanded of his
enemy:
"Since you own the horse, tell the
kaid in which eye the animal is blind"
I'm the left,'' said the thief, making
q wild guess.
Yosouf looked toward the kaid tri-
umphantly. "He's blind in neither
eye" said he.
So the noble horse came into it's
r1ghtful owners possession again, and
the wicked Arab was punished.

Why Not Be an Euotist2

There Is much mistaken sentiment as
to the sin Of egotism. The fact is ego
tism is not sin. On the other hand,
it is somewhat Of a virtue and an in
dispensable element in all real prog
ress. Some phases of egotism are un-
pleasant to the beholder and unfor-
tunate for the possessor, but if all Of
self love, or, rather, the love of other
peoples admiration and good will, were
to be extinguished there would be little
to hold society together and less to
give impetus to the great enterprises
which spring from Individual thought
and eliminate in personal profit.-Les-
