Denounces Trust Methods.

The influence of the American Sugar
Refining Company, the so-called sugar
trust on the cane sugar industry was
interestingly discussed by Col. D. d. Col
>cock of New Orleans, representing the
New Orleans Sugar Exchange. Mr.. Col,
cock declared that the American Sugar
Refining Company retines about CD per
cent of the sugar refined in this country
and admitted that the company dictates
the price which il pays for cane sugar in
louisiana
us not the value of the cane sugar in
Louisiana. the price Of it for refining pur-
poses. practically fixed by the American
Sugar Refining Company and not by the
markets OF the world?" asked Representa-
tive Underwood of Alabama, while Col.
Colcock was on the stand.
Not practically, but absolutely, re-
piled the sugar man.
..Therefore isn't it fact that last
lxear the Louisiana sugar producer sold
his sugar to the refining company at a
price largely below the worlds price. with
the tariff duties added?' pursued Mr.. In
derwood.
Not only last year. but today was
the reply.
Col. Colcock declared that the sugar
trust fixes the price at which the jobber
sells to the retailer, an declared that the
methods the refining company Pursues in
beating down the price at which 1t buys
the sugar from the Louisiana producers
are "damnable' Col. Colcock favored
protection, contending that the greater ad-
vantage the refiner has, the more he can
afford to pay for the raw sugar.

They Went Away Separately, but Came
Back Tooether.

4, A lady friend of mine. says an Eng
fish writer, has - pets a canary and a
cat. The two were tile best of good
friends, and when the birds prison
door was opened it would come out
and perch on the cats back while It
trilled forth song of gladness
One day my friend left her two pets
together, and on her return the bird
was nowhere to be found. Pussy was
curled up on a cushion, sleeping con-
tentedly, and my friend jumped TO the
conclusion that the cat was answer
able for the birds disappearance, con-
sequently she caught up the cat and.
holding the supposed delinquent be-
fore the empty cage, beat it rather
mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite-
ously, but her relentless mistress put
her outside and shut the door against
her.
Next morning, feeling rather asham-
ed of, her outburst, she made inquiries
about the cat. but pussy was gone
Some days later she heard a faint
scratching at her window, and on open
ing the easement a cat crept in and
laid a bedraggled canary at her feet.
At first she did not recognize her pets
In the two disreputable looking objects
before her. When she did recognize
them her delight was great
Presumably the canary had gone out
by the open window, and, finding liber-
ty sweet it had flown TO neighboring
wood. How the cat found the bird and
brought 1t back uninJured is a mys-
terry.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
Gold Mining Attractive.

There is a tendency among mining
men at present to leave lead, silver,
copper, ETC., and go back to mining for
gold. Within the past two weeks big
sales in gold properties have been re-
ported in a number of gold districts,
in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah,
Nevada and Montana. One does not
need to go outside the mining districts
Of central Idaho to be convinced that
big mining men are going in for gold
mining more now than in recent years,
and in preference, too, to lead and cop
per, which have for several years
claimed the attention of the leading
mining men and attracted the greatest
part Of the money that wa@ seeking for
investment in the mining business.
The reason for this change to gold is
the low price in the other metals. Cop
per, principally, has commanded a low
price for over year; lead has been
little more in demand, and the worst Of
the situation is, many of the big oper-
ators predict that copper never again
will sell for what it did before the
tumble Of year ago.
Cold mining, operators have con-
cluded, is the kind Of mining to tie to.
There is a demand for gold, and the
price is always the same. The element
of chance is not 80 great whore the
mine is handled by experienced men,
and even the chance for failure IS offset
by the ever ready market for gold.
These facts are now attracting more
men and more capital 10 gold mining
Mining for gold can be made both fasci-
mating and remuneratye.

thing for the people of Idaho-it elected

Now if the men at Boise will keep on
that line until they have kept faith

In these days, when child study Is a hobby, ridden long and hard, 1t Is interesting to read of the nervetrain- ing which fell to the lot of the Quaker authoress. Amelia Opie, In 1769 and after. The modern mother would shrink with horror from some of the methods used on the sensitive child, but in this case 1t resulted in splendid stuff. Mrs Opie Is quoted in a book on Quaker Worthies."
 I was a creature of fears, tears and screams. My first terror was of black beetles, then of frogs, skeletons, black men and madmen.
 My mother made me take a beetle in my hand and hold It AS her word was law, I obeyed, but with awful shrinking. I gradually became accus- toned to 1t, and was frequently told to take one up and put it out of harms way. I soon overcame that terror.

rhe Amerlcan oollege student.

Privy Councillor Zuntz, on his return to Berlin, after three months visit to the United States, delivered a lecture before the students of the Industrial high school of that city, in which he had much to say in praise of Ameri- can students and of the college sys- tenn under which they were trained
 "Our students" he said, "can help themselves financially only by teach Ing. The American student has the ad- vantage in this respect, because, with out losing caste or dignity, he can break stone, act as a waiter or porter, or do work at any trade. It is not an infrequent occurrence, that a young man acts as a waiter at a gathering of people where he is received as an equal as soon as his mental duties have been performed"

Why opa1- Are "Un1ucky..

The world is full of superstition, and one of the worst is that the opal is "unlucky" This superstition arose when the "black death" swept Europe At that time the opal was very unpop- ular, and some noticed that when a victim of the disease was dying the opal on the finger frightened and when he was dead 1t became dull. Of course this took the popular fancy and at once opals became ''uniucky," and have remained so ever since. Very likely they do not change at all on the fingers of a dying person, and the whole mat ter is like that question which once caused so much discussion in the sci entifc world, l. e., why Is 1t that when you put a fish in a bowl of water the weight of the bowl Is not increasedi ! Many learned answers were given, but finally one duffer weighed a bowl of water with and without the fish in It, and thus settled the matter.-Kansas City Journal.

 Of all the apologies for the Merry Widow hat the newest is the most novel. IL is advanced in its favor that 1t is responsible for the even greater care women are bestowing on their teeth. Of course all women of the last two generations, even those careless in other respects, have been particular in regard to their dental charms. but 1t is asserted that since the advent of the tentive to them than ever, the New York Press says A cosmetic dentist explains this by pointing out that when a woman wears a large hat her hair Is almost covered except at the sides, where 1t is puffed out; her forehead Is hidden, and her temples are merely suggested, so that nothing stands out clearly save her nose and mouth. and IS a result the teeth are noticed as they never were before.
 This state of affairs is brought about in a great measure by the hats with arge round crowns and dropping brims. Most girls, when they want to show their teeth, think it necessary to smile broadly, says the cosmetic dentist, and .hus proclaim their intention in a most patent manner. They should learn to show them without making their inten- ton obvious. It Is not necessary to smile broadly; in fact, a far more ef- fective result is obtained If the lips are only slightly parted in the center when the emotions of amusement or happiness are to be expressed.

They are instructed to smile sweetly, with the lips just touching, so that when they wake they have a happy aspect of He considers It Is a good plan to make them assume the exQuis- ite shape known as Cupid's bow.

. Any Ship Ahoat. The standardization trial of the bat tleship Vermont took place off Rock land over a measured mile. This was to test the screw revolutions at varying speeds, that Is, to find out how many revolutions of the screws per minute were required to cover a mile in a given time.
 Incased in Ice from stem to stern, the new battleship came into Boston harbor from her trial trip and dropped anchor off the navy yard. She looked like a huge specter as she came up through the narrows, for with the ex- oeption of the tunnels there was no part of the vessel that wasn'. coated with Ice and the bow and forward part of the battleship were burdened with tons of the frozen water that had been thrown up as the huge war vessel blow ed through head seas at a 1T.4knot clip.
