verified statements of the differences
paid American and foreign workmen
in every protected industry and to
reduce the tariff tax in each instance
to exactly that difference. The
Democrats will agree to such a re-
vision, the tax to be increased or
lowered from time to time to meet
changes in wages. But. says Mr..
Taft, reasonable profit, besides must
be provided by the tariff. At last the
cat is out of the bag. The pretense
has always been that our higher
wages prevented competition with
foreign goods and that with the differ
ence in wages made up by law, the
people would get the benefit of such
competition. Foreign goods would
still have the disadvantage of long
transportation and if they could carry
that load and still be brought over
and sold at profit, surely there must
be a still greater profit on American
goods. Why then tax the people still
further to swell this profit?
Simply because every concern
which gets the benefit of the tariff has
capitalized the special favor thus
granted 1T by law and will never con-
sent to a reduction of dividends

Rustin. the physician recently killed
at his residence here and Davis,
whereby Davis was to shoot Rustin
and then commit suicide. Objections
were made to nearly half the questions
put by the county attorney. Mrs. Rice
however, was permitted to say that
Rustin told her he had arranged with
a man to kill him and later she was
permitted to identify this man as Da-
Wis. The state then rested. Counsel
for the defense was given an oppor-
tunity to cross examine the witness but
this was deferred until Monday. Mrs.
Rice's story follows:
'Dr. Rustin told me he had secured
a man to kill him and that 1 was re-
leased from the duty. He said it was
a man who had several times attempt
ed to take his own life. (Later she
was permitted to identify this man
as Davis. the defendant.)
'The doctor told me he had arrs 2

life. He said Davis was to come to the
office at O'Clock this evening. 1 then

Rustin would meet me shortly on the

How to Test the Acidity of Soils.

Supposed corrective Treatments
are often given to soils supposed to
be acid. when as a matter OF faOt

partment of Agriculture for deter
mining soil acidity is as follows.
Boil for half hour a sample Of
the soil to be tested In. a small guam
tlty OF water. say quart. Allow
1t to settle. and when perfectly clear,
pour off the water into a white dish
and test 1t with both blue and red
litmus paper. These papers can be
procured from any drug store for a
few cents. II the soil is acid, the
blue litmus paper will turn red. II
1t is alkaline. the red lltmus papen
will turn blue. Ten minutes should
be allowed in the water for the, lit,
mus paper to change color. If at
the end OF that time there is nc
change, then the soil is neutral.
neither acid nor alkaline.
1t should be understood that such
a test as this is not a determination
of whether or not a soil needs lime
The question of lining of soil is still
mooted subject Much evidence
has been presented to prove that lin.
ing of soil has been most beneficial
when the soil was in no sense .ur.
If, however, the soil does show strong
acidity by the litmus or other posi-.
tive tests, 1t is safe to say that lining
will be beneficial.

Smells.

The man with nose always recog'

has only to land at Calais to smell
garlic. London's smell-when the
Londoner returns-is just SCOT and
fried fish. Paris always smells of
chocolate and wood smoke. Florence
is Violets and sewage. But so soon
as you get to Russia the smell is
quite different. Moscow, the city of
fruit that comes from the Crimea,
has special smell Of cranberry
(Which has various names) in late
summer And you cannot land in
st. Petersburg without noticing-ln-
stantly--the smell of the place.
On the last visit to st. Petersburg
this writer was driving with a young
English woman to the hotel. Have
you noticed the smell of the city,"
he asked, having wondered long what
the mysterious perfume was. "Why,
yes" was the answer, "it's old boots. "

the smell of ancient leather. as Sit

"OBLITERATIVE COLOR"
The Part 1t Plays in Animal Life and
Defense.

OCACASCs
Whales, lions, wolves, deer, hares,
mice; cartridges, Quails, sandpipers,
larks, sparrows; frogs, snakes, fishes,
lizards, crabs; grasshoppers, slugs,
caterpillars-all these animals, and
many thousand more, crawl and
crouch and swim about their business,
hunting and eluding, under cover of
this strange obliterative mask, the
smooth and perfect balance between
shades of color and degrees of illum-
nation.
Nature, having thus usually I'M
substantialized the bodies of animals,
so that If seen at all they look fiat and
ghostly, does not stop there. From
solid, shaded bodies they have been
converted, as it were, into fiat cards
or canvases, and, to complete the illu-
sion of obliteration, pictures of the
kground-veritabl pictures of the
more or less distant landscape-have
been painted on these canvases. Such.

contamination of obliterative colora-
ton; full obliterative shading in con-
junction with true picturing of such
scenes, nearer or farther, as would
appear straight beyond the animal
were it transparent, or as would APP
pear If there were no creature there
at all. The animal has vanished and
in his place stands a picture of the
distance. with its numberless details!

truly fits the case, since these animals
prove to be colored to disappear from
view and not, as has hitherto been
supposed, to look lifeless solid OBJ
jects. Some writer's, indeed, have
mentioned the fact that animals blend
into the varied ground behind them,
