Makes Feathers Ely.

II. G. Griggs of East Orange, N. j.,
is the inventor of fowl pIucking de-
vice which poultry raisers who have
Inspected it believe will ill a want in
the industry. Other machines have
been invented to do the work which
Griggs provides for in his machine. but
none has heretofore been anything
more than an Interesting piece of ma
chiuery with little practical worth.
Griggs departs from the lines follow
ed in other machines and introduces
an entirely new method. The fowl
to be plucked is placed on an endless
travelling belt and carried through 4
series of fingers. which are so ar
ranged that they go over the entire
bird plucking it clean of feathers. The
danger of tearing the skin is avoided
by the simple expedient of having the
fingers clutch only few feathers at a
time. The size of the bird is no factor
whatever. Ii will stay 10 the machine
until plucked. whether large or small
4 pneumatic tube carries away the
feathers as fast as they are removed.
Griggs is Il civil engineer and never
raised chicken in his life. but he no.
ticed a few years ago. while visiting
friend who runs poultry farm, that
the labor of removing feathers from
the birds was one of the chief items of
cost in preparing the product for mar
ket. 1t is said that the owner OF one
of his machines will be able to reduce
his expenses by 20 per cent

II cannot be that the butter fat in
milk is obtained from the fat stored in
the tissues of the COW. otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciaied
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat in their bodies. Reason as well
as observation teaches that cows ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume ana digest. and TO produce a
large percentage of cream the rations

A Corroboration.

The wife At Home.

While we all are cheering along the
line for the president in his swing
round the circle. let us pause for a
moment and render thoughtful homage
to the wife at home. Columns have
been devoted daily. and very properly,
to the journeys and speeches Of the
chief magistrate, but as unobtrusively
as the chronicling of a minor chord in
the court circular column Of a London
paper the American journals insert a
tiny paragraph telling of one days
doings Of the first lady of the land,
We read that she went down to the
.speedway to hear a concert by the
cavalry band, that she did a little
shopping in own and three or four
lines are devoted to chronieling the
fact that every morning Mrs. Taft goes
out, either for a walk OF to shop, and
in the afternoon for a drive. indicating
full restoration to health.
One Of the happiest features Of the
nomination of Mr.. Taft for the presi-
dency was the little incident attending
the conveying Of the news to him and
his wife. "oh, WIN" she gasped. and
in reading OF the circumstance every
man and every woman in the land
could picture the eager Joy that ami
mated her face with the utterance. The
simple LONELINESS Of the phrase made
Il a term Of endearment in the hearts
Of the people, and established a bono
CT human sympathy at large. WheI
Mrs. Taft's health was reported as fail

POPuIistlc Notions.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

- AAAoNASARAAA& AAiAulAGls
The idea of furnishing a guarantee for
bank deposits is one OF those crude, half
baked, ill-digested notions in which the
populistic west is so prolific. A bank de-
post is a debt like any other and there is
no more reason why IL should be guaran-
teed by law than there is in the case of any
other kind of Indebtedness. 1t is all very
well for the government. state or national,
as the case may be, to exercise a watchful
supervision over bank and to
afford the public a proper protection agains
the i-ncompetency or fraud of those by
whom banking establishments are con-
Quoted, as far, indeed, as it can go with
substantial and beneficial results.
To require solvent banks to pay the
debts of the insolvent is to place a prem
UNI on bad banking of every kind and at
the same time TO penalize the institutions
whose business is conducted honestly and
on sound principles. 1t is to deprive the
good bank of the reward which should
go with merit by lessening the Incentive to
discrimination on the part Of the depositor.
If the law which does that is set aside by
the supreme court everyone except the
demagogue will be benefited.

Omaha as a Climber.

Strangers who see Omaha for the
first time regard it as almost incredi-
BILE that our city began its career only
ffty-hve years ago aud has been able
to show such a substantial growth In
that relatively short period Of time.
Omaha has been a climber from the
start, although it's rate of progress has
been by no means the same as at all
times.
Omaha's original prosperity grew
from the fact that it was the gateway
to the overland trail.
It's second era of expansion came
with the completion of the Union Pa
cihc railroad, opening up continuous
steam transportation from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, with Omaha as the mid
continent transfer point.
The third climb came c~oincident
with what wal known as the boom

the panic of 1893.

sincere and graceful tribute to her who
must view his tour from a distance

The wife at home, busy with her

her heart is with the absent. The old
sea captain in one Of Mark Tvain's
stories in his idle Notes of a Rambling
Excursion" has well depicted the need
for solicitude, not for the mariner on
the deep, but for his helpmate on
shore, thinking constantly of his well
fare, praying steadfastly for his safe
Homecoming, mayhap bearing him
children in his absence and he not by

the silent and the inconspicuous one,
always, in every walk of life. AS we

the silent and loyal women who also

This, while directed at the statute OF a

the guaranty law is based. 1t is a piece

Maxine Man of Az Rovs.

In the plea of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor for both night and
day schools of manual training for the
children of wage earners, is evidenced
another measure of the current
though for making real men of the
boys. All through the country the
manual training idea has grown, ami
in it's PRONUNCIATION the educators have
made this the keynote of their advice
to the youthful students: Boys,
make ready to so out into the world
to do a mans work"
1t is the native desire of most boys
to do things, to accomplish results
that show. The normal boy does not
believe a thing worth while unless he
sees the practical demonstration OF
his vision. He wants to make, to pro-
duce,A and in the manual training
school he has the opportunity to Guilt
vate his bent. The skilled artisan in
any line is sure of a share in the
worlds usefulness. And in the devel-
opment of the practical field the arti-
san has just as great opportunity for
the cultivation Of good morals and
ethics and just as great a need for
those that he cu~ltivates as in the pro
LESSONS where skilled handicraft is
mot required,
All who have followed the career
of manual training students, whether
they have gone into a trade or into
the professions Of engineering or cleo
tricity, or ultimately engaged in some
other calling where the tools handled
are mental instead of physical, are en-
thusiastic for the spread Of the man
ual training gospel, and since this
training has been recognized to be
such a serviceable accomplishment
the large cities have built great mod
ern high schools devoted exclusively
to manual courses, Trade schools
with both day and night classes are
already in existence in "a small way
for Athose unfortunate youth who have
to help in the support Of families, and
1.-The Federation plan is merely the APP
bplication OF, this trade school idea on
IasIarger and broader plane.
