Such was the reply of a poultry rails

as to when the hen fruit would be OF
normal value again. He believes thai
another such week as last will make

There may be some doubt as to
whether the tuberculin test works. 1t
may not always work. But the fact
remains that it. is the surcst thing that
has yet been discovered. The feet re-
mains also that the best and most up
to-date dairymcn in the country and
abroad, welcome it The fact remains
that a COW that has stood the tubercu-
lin test is a much more valuable an
imal than the COW that has not stood
il.
The public cannot pretend to act rs
arbiter between the scientific men in
the matter of Il tuberculin test, but one
thing is pretty certain, and that Is, If
there is any good in it, as the majority
of experts say-the public is entitled
to the benefit OF it.
If anybody believes in the pure food
law it will not be hard to persuade
them of the benefit of 4 suitable milk
ordinance. One thing though the pub
lie must remember is that you cant
get milk inspection that is not farce
without paying enough to get efficient
men to carry on the inspection.
1t is better to pay in money, cent by
cent, than it is to pay in blood Of in
nocent children, drop by drop.
The ordinance may be modified. but
if it is emasculated SO that tho public
and diaries get the raw end of it and
an inspector gets a salary for doing
nothing, the thing will be worse than
none There must be competent and
efficient service.

The gastric juices, when in a per-

fermentation and decay, reduce the
food to disintegrated mass and the
stomach then presses it into the intes-
tines where another form of digestion
takes mace. Then the intestines take
from this mass of food all that is
nourishing and give it to the blood.
The waste matter is thrown from the
system.
II instead of nourishment the intes-
tines receive impure deposits combin-
ed with a poisonous ana imperfect gas
trio juice. it can be readily seen that
they must turn such imperfect nour-

then being able to give each part of
the body that which it requires, be-
comes impoverished and disease is
spread broadcast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects
such a condition at once. If the gas

Boysssn's Story Of His Boy.

The late Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen
once told this story OF his little son,
Hjalmar Fl. Boyesen Cd: The boy had
been taken over Brooklyn bridge for
the first time and had piled his father
with questions about the big structure
all the way over, all the way back and
all the way home. Upon their return
the professor, worn out with the fusil-
lade to which be had been subjected,
retired to his study, but just as he
sank into his easy chair his son ap-
peared and, apropos of nothing. que
ried, "Say, papa, didn't you say that
God lived up above the clouds?' The
father YEARLY answered, why, yes, 1
guess So" well. papa, If we were up
above the clouds we'd come through,
wouldn't weF' The man vouchsafed
a brief, II suppose So" "Well, papa,
why At that point the professor
patience gave out and he said: There,
son, don't ask it. Go to your mother
The child retreated but just as he lift
ed his hand to the doorknob he turned
and said. 'Say, papa, don't you know
a great deal more about the Brooklyn
bridge than you do about God?"

was so f1eshy as to be almost a burden

AS she stood clinging to the railing
on the higher side, gasping for breath
and tanning herself, he cautiously ap-
preached the lower side, lay fat on his
stomach and. grasping one of the up
rights, pulled himself forward until he
could look down over the edge. The
effect was terrifying, and, with hasty
exclamation, he drew back. The tower
seemed to be falling. and he could feel
his hair rising to meet the emergency.

gasped. "If you bring your weight

A MILK ORDINANCE.

An ordinance has been introduced
into council which has for it's purpose
the guaranteeing of pure milk to the
citizens of Richmond. Suffice It to
say that the ordinance is in it's resent
form as comprehensive as it can we'll
be. But it is TO be feared that this
very fact will kill it,
Reduced to its lowest terms the prop
osition comes very near home. Without
adequate legislation on this subject
there will be inferior milk sold In

that the dairymen will tell the citizens
that they will raise the price of milk
This may appeal to some people.
But there are people who think it is
worth while to make the dairymen
take proper care of their cattle and
their milk and will be willing TO pay
a cent or two more on the quart fol-
pure milk. They would rather do thai
than pay out funeral expenses and doc

MR.. CARNEGIE SPEAKS.

And Mr. Carnegie says 1.-THE cost of
producing steel at Gary will not be
half the cost of producing steel in
England notwithstanding the cheaper
cost. of labor abroad"
And Mr. Schwab has said: The U.
S. Steel Company does not need the
protection half as much as the indie
pendent Companies
So where are you and what can you
believe? Both statements are plaus-
ible. But the fact is that Schwab is
in the company and Carnegie is out of
1t. The question is whether or no Mr..
Schwab is, after all, so anxious about
the fate of the Independent compan'
les. It does not stand to reason. And
yet~Mr. Schwab is for protection and
Mr.. Carnegie is for tariff revision.
Now 1t looks very much as if Mr..
Carnegie were to be trusted. He ad-
mits that the principal use of the tar
If even in his day was to prevent the
foreign manufacturers of steel from
dumping their surplus into this coun-
try and making their profits in that
way. Now isn't that just what the
u. S. Steel Company has been doing,
10 these many years, at the expense
of the people, the consumers in this
country? The people have an idea
that the Independent companies can
take care of themselves against the
Steel Trust if they have done so thus
far
If the steel companies can produce
with their modern methods at half
the cost of the European companies
what excuse is there for tariff wall
around the United States at the ex
pense of Gripping other industries
That is protection which does not pro
tect the people.
Certain tariffs for the raising OF
revenue there of course must be; but
like steel, need to be as low as posi-
BILE for the whole good of the country
In way the steel industry is analo
gous to the paper-pulp industry. The
tariff on paper-pulp has enriched this
one trust with the result that it has
come perilously near destroying the
newspaper and other publishing indus
tries. And in the same way the steel
used all over the country with the aid
of a high tariff has come very nearly
killing the industries which use steel
1t is evident that ultimately if these
industries are crippled it will hurt the
steel business also.
Can the U. S. Steel company afford
to force its consumers to the wall il
this country and live off the foreign
market? More over. can the people
Of the United States afford to let this
condition of affairs go on?
With cheaper cost of production
in the steel industry than abroad the
American workman will be cared for
With lower tariff the consumers O.
the steel industry will be benefited
And the United States Steel company
will still make some money. rest as

Beyond All Music.


At one of the Yorkshire inns, relates
a Liverpool contemporary, there is a
pianist who can improvise accompa nj,
ments to any song that any singer
wishes to sing. He cannot read a note
of music, yet, in the local vernacular,
he "can play owt." Recently, however,
he met with an unexpected check. A
man hummed over an air, but the pi-
anist failed to get the key. Lets try
it again. he said. And they tried II
again. Still it was of no use. A third
trial brought no better result Then
the pianist turned to the singer in an.
ger and said: "Sitha, awe tried tina
on t white 'uns, awe tried tina on t
black 'uns and Awe tried tina on t
black and white 'uns mixed. It's nc
use. Tha's singing between t. cracks

Pittful is the case of the blind, who
cannot read the face; pitifuI the case
of the deaf, who cannot follow the
changes Of the voice. And there are
others also to be pitied. for there are
some Of an inert and ineloquent nature
who have been denied all the symbols
of communication. who have neither
a lively play Of facial expression nor
speaking gestures nor a responsive
voice nor vet the gift of frank, ex-
planatory speech-peopie truly made
of clay, people tied for life into bag
which no one can undo. They are
poorer than the gypsy, for their heart
can speak no language under heaven

the Sugar Trust. When he was IS
years old he went into the rehneries
at Williamsburg to take up the practi-
cal work; thence went to the mercan-
tile department, and at the age of %
was admitted to partnership. He de-
voted himself to the interests Of the
house, thoroughly mastered Its mercan-
tile side, made study of production
and markets, and in few years found
himself practically the manager of the
concern, which had by that time grown
to enormous proportions. Foreseeing
even greater possibilities in the union
of the sugar refining firms throughout
the country, mainly through his efforts
a combination Of fifteen of the princi-
pal sugar dealers was effected. This
so-called Sugar Trust" falling under
the ban of the courts, new and more
sweeping change was made by CONSOLE
dating all the various companies into
a single great corporation. This was
done on January IL, 1901, by the incor-
poration Of the American Sugar Re-
fineries Company in the State Of New
Jersey. The capitalization of the cor
poration, originally $5O,OO0OO0, was
later increased to $75.OoO,0 900, to allow
Of the purchase Of four sugar compan-
les in Philadelphia. Henry o. Have
meyer was at first only vice president,
but eventually became president.
Havemeyer lived in a fine mansion
in East Sixty-slxth street, New York,
and also maintained a residence at
Greenwich, Conn, where he gave the
town a magnificent $250,O00 public
schoolhouse. The place where he died
l-Menivale-was his favorite retreat
when he needed rest and seclusIon. The
house on the place is small stone
lodge, unpretentious on the outside, but
handsomely furnished. 1t was always
kept ready for his visits. The estate
comprises more than 800 acres, only
a part Of which is kept cleared and
used for breeding purposes, while the
wilder. part is stocked with quail and
imported game birds.
Havemeyer was an officer in eleven
other mammoth corporations besides
the Sugar Trust. His wealth was esti,
mated at $7oO00,000.
