The proceedings OF the Reunion OF
the 9Th Wis, held in 1901. have been
printed in a handsome pamphlet well
illustrated with portraits. The main
feature of the broshure is very inter-
esting paper read by George Il. Engle.

hammock The claim is made that since
the invention of gunpowder there has
never been a charge made by any
troops which showed such persistence
and daring as that made by the 5th

storming of Marye's flights.

Oh, What a LANGUAGE!
BY s. w. GILLIAN.

What language 49, what a Ian
guage it is that we speak! How little
we may depend upon a rule once
learned! We note the word that
is formed apparently exactly as is
some other word whose meaning we
have been taught to ascertain by the
application Of certain rules, and be-
hold! we make an egregious-nay,
even a Observation-Disclosures.
For instance, we say a man has
been disarmed, meaning that he has
had his arms taken away from him.
But when we speak of The prisoner
after the disarming scrimmage as
being disheveled, we do not mean
that they also took his hevel away
from him. OF course not.
We mention the dehorned COW,
meaning the COW has been taken
while a calf and robbed of her horns.
Yet when we speak of man who has
been defeated we do not refer to a
man who, while calf, was tied up
and robbed of his feat or his feet.
We say that Anne Boleyn and 9TH
err ladies were beheaded, meaning
that they were placed on block and
had their heads chopped of. But
take, again, the word befuddled-we
speak of 4 man as being in such a
condition. But do we mean that he
lay down on a block and had his fud-
die chopped off? Certainly, certain
ly not.
So you see how untrustworthy this
language of ours is.
Glass is dismissed. Take the next
two pages for the next lesson

A HOLSTEIN RECORD.

From daily paper we clip the
following: A. Holstein-Friesian cow
owned by w. ]. Gillett, of Wisconsin.
has broken the worlds butter record
by forty pounds of milk and 206.5
pounds of butter. The cow gave
birth to calf December 10 and the
test was commenced on the fifth day
of her period of lactation. The test
was continued for sixty-four days.
during which period every milking
was watched, the quantity of milk
weighed, and samples taken and
tested by a representative of the ez-
pertinent station. The phenomenal
yield was such that Superintendent
NJ. H. Gardner, of the advanced reg
istry, ordered two separate retests.
the first of which was for twenty-four
hours and the second forty-eight
hours, during which time additional
representatives were sent from the
experimental station. The cow was
under constant supervision day and
night to preclude any possibility OF
fraud. The best day in milk was
LOG pounds. The best day in butter.

IRRIGATION.

Many New England farms are so
located in valleys that water course
might be easily diverted from its
natural bed and distributed over the
surface of the land, carrying with 1t
fertility and profit. The expense of
such work is far less than is COM
monty believed, and would, under
favorable conditions, be warranted
even for such cheap crops as hay,
corn and potatoes. Extensive regions
at the West are now irrigated at a
cost of 50 to IS per acre per year.
and the crop repays the outlay many
fold. Our market gardeners have for
many years practiced irrigating their
crops, and do not need to be told
that it is a profitable investment of
labor and money. Such seasons as
this usually prove the most profitable
ones on well irrigated gardens. be-
cause competition is cut of from less
favored fields.-American Cultivator.

YARDS NEEDED.

l wish to emphasize with all my
might that a house is never complete
without yard; no matter how small
the house, it is not complete unless
the yard is attached to the south to
correspond with the size of the house.
Not that I advise the yarding of
fowls on the farm, where an album
dance of range can be given. bat
there are times when you need yards.
and if we do not have them the
fowls suffer in consequence.
My winter yards are sixteen feet
wide by forty-eight feet long, but
where summer yarding is practised
l have them at least three times as
large, so that green food will grow
in them, the entire season and to
furnish a nice range. E. Matte

Newspapers and Manipulating.

Newspapers, it seems-New York
newspapers, at any rate-should re-
ceive more credit than they get for
being in business solely to do good
or in some cases to raise hob
and not from any sordid purpose to
make money. Mr. John Norris Is
an authority whom we find quoted
as declaring in behalf of the news
paper publishers of New York, that
there is hanging over sixteen of them
an increase of three million dollars
a year in cost of production. This
three millions of added expense he
divides into $2,160,O00 for white
paper; 100000 additional for COM
positors. 100000 for stereotypers.
and 100000 for other labor. Not
more than four papers of the sixteen.
Mr.. Norris says. can meet this In
creased expense and still make both
ends meet. Mr.. Norris thinks the
daily-newspaper business is the most
precarious venture going. Ninety per
cent. OF the newspapers circulated in
New York he finds to be one-cent
papers. The newsdealers, Mr.. Norris
says, make a vast deal of money out
Of the New York papers-$1. 100000
from the World alone: organized
labor takes an enormous sum from
them in tribute and wages-$2,5O0.-
900 a year being paid for labor by
the World alone; but the returns to
capital invested in the newspaper
business Mr.. Norris considers SO un-
satisfactory as to imperil the liberty
OF the press. All OF which brings II
into the forum of discussion how
long the present one-cent papers can
continue to be sold for one cent. One
cent buys at least third less of most
commodities than it did when one
cent newspapers began to be the
| fashion, but it buys more newspaper
now than ever.-Harper's sXcfef1

USE FOR SURPLUS MILK.

SWEET CREAM FROM SOUR MILK

A rather unusual but successful
process of making sweet, salable

at the Virginia station. The result
seems to point way for the dis

DEAD MAN DIDN'T
PAY HIS FARE

tie bound, rode in the presence of
death for several miles before the
discovery was made that a fellow
passenger was sitting dead in his
seat.
The discovery caused thrill of
horror among the passengers and
somewhat disarranged the schedule
of the road.
David S. Keener, aged 65, father
of Frank keener. of Seattle, was
the man who died without strug-
gle in his seat.
AS the conductor was collecting
fare he came TO the seat occupied
by Keener and asked for the fare.
Keener's head was resting on the
cushioned back of the seat AMI the
eyes were wide open. He appeared
in deep thought.
Not receiving any reply, the con
ductor again said Fare, please"
and grasped Keener's coat sleeve to
arouse him. Receiving no re

man more closely and found that
he was dead.

BUTTE, April %. Looking
through the bars of the county Jail
at o'clock this afternoon, John
Sutherland, charged with the MUIR
der of William Kerr, saw the pro-
cession of vehicles which followed
the body of his wife to the grave.
The cortege passed on down Mon
tana st. to the cemetery but the
husband, detained by the stern fet-
tiers of the law, was not present.
Sutherland had asked to attend
the funeral and Sheriff Henderson
was inclined to allow the request
but later friends of Mrs. Suther-
land prtested. They explained to
the sheriff that Sutherland and his
wife had become estranged. and
that Mrs. Sutherland, racked in
mind and body over the murder
charges brought against her hus-
band, and realizing that death was
near, had asked that Sutherland be
not allowed to attend the funeral,
or even to view her body.

The advantages claimed for ii are
that the bell may be heard under

possible either to see a light or
hear a fog horn.
Capt. Hogeman demonstrated this
fact by guiding his ship most of one
night during a dense fog in the
North sea by the signals received
from submerged bells. AS he passed
one lightship after another he was
able 10 identify it anu judge its To-
cation and distance from the Cecilie

able to see the lights. He heard the
bell signals over a distance of 10
miles when no sound reached him

given by the submerged bells the
captain would have been obliged to

WILKESBARRE. Pa, April 22.-
Twenty thousand future citizens,
boys of tender years, are under
virtual sentence in the coal break
ers and mines of the anthracite re-
gion waiting for congress to COM
ply with the recommendations OF
Roosevelt and enact a child labor
law that will give them freedom.
Fourteen thousand Of these un.
der Ia years of age are employed
in the breakers; the others, under
16 years, are in the mines.
Each of these 10000 cases is a
violation Of state law that is not
only ineffective, but which the
state authorities are not attempt
ing to enforce.
And meantime these boys are
ageing prematurely, long before
their time. To them boyhood means
nothing. The joys of youth they
know only by occasional glimpses;
when there is strike Of on holi-
days. Life is one long, endless, in
terminable grind shut away from
the light Of day.
Their souls are being withered
slowly; their intelligence enfeebled,
their bodies stunted; their spirits
crushed. Ambition is killed within
them and the future offers only a
prospective slavery.
The question is: How many OF
these boys in few short years will
be full fledged anarchists?
1t was the dream of John Mitchell
former president of the United
Mine Workers of America, to have
these boys kept out of the mines
and the breakers, but his admins
tration ended with little accom-
plished. His influence was instru.
mental in forcing the passage of a
state law providing for this, but
that law might as well never have
been enacted.
The state mining department has
made a feeble bluff at enforcing it,
but that is all. Many of the deputy
mine inspectors ignore 1t daily;
