MILK PRODUCERS.

M ILL., IL p sa1 SCOTT T. in ,s an interesting s letter
milk situation as il affects the milk producers.
Many complaints have been made by the pro-
duccrs that they do not get square deal. The
question is that the Legislature might
take up. Every citizen should feel interested in
any effort that the producers of milk may make
to increase the standard of the milk and the pro-
ducers should certainly receive a reasonable
profit for their labor and expense.
We should think however, that those who
have taken extreme care to see that only a very
high standard of milk is sent from their farms
should have no difficulty in disposing of it at
satisfactory prices and Mr.. Scott evidently has
no trouble on that score. He speaks, we believe,
on behalf of those persons who wish to see a
good article Sold and he is deserving of thanks
for interesting himself ina matter that affects
the community more than it does Mr.. Scott
personally.

Prnnress In Turkey.

A striking instance of the penetra-
ton of western ideas eastward is an
advertisement which appeared recent
ly In a Turkish newspaper. In it
middle class Mohammedan returns
thanks "for the many proofs Of SYM
pathy received on the occasion of the
death of my beloved wife, especially
TO those of the faith who gave me the
comfort of their presence at the DE
naza, funeral celebratlon)."
This is the first time on record that
Mohammedan has ever referred 10
his wife in this public way. Not many
years ago such an action on the part
of a Mussulman would have called
forth univo rsal reprobation. Even to
ask Turk about his wife's health has
hitherto been held exceedingly bad
form.

Eish and Game proteetion.

The first efforts to protect fish or
game in America were made by Maine
In 1S43 when a law was passed re-
curing the governor Of that state to
appoint fish commissioners.
In 1852 these commissioners were
put in control of moose and deer. This
Is really the beginning of the warden
system in the United States. And
Maine was the pioneer in game and
fish protection To this day Maine is
well supplied with game, and that
game pays the people of the state ian
estimate on good authority about $13,
100000 annually The evolution which
has taken place looking to fish and
game protection in the New England
states especially has been slowly go
ing on for fifty years, but in the west
and south, so Iavishly endowed by ma
ture with game and fish, that protec-
ton dates back to very recent origin.

The Weather.
srANLEY's BIG TRIUMPH.

Victory seems in sight for the
Stanley amendment to the Tariff
Bill removing the six cents tax from
leaf tobacco. This tax has been
three times repealed in the House
and killed in the Senate.
Senator AIdrich, il is said, has at
last withdrawn all opposition, in
which event there is no doubt Of its
passage. Mr.. Stanley said in dis.
cussing the matter:
1.-The prospect for the repeal of
the tax upon tobacco in the natural
leaf, and the prevention Of the use
of coupons is almost too good to be
true.
1.-The increase of the tax upon
manufactured tobacco to g cents will
have a still greater tendency to slim
ulate the sale of the natural leaf.
Of course, this repeal of this tax
will have no immediate effect upon
the price of leaf tobacco; this trade
will have to be built up, but it will,
ia my humble opinion, not be many
years until millions Of pounds of I'M
manufactured tobacco will be sold in
the natural leaf.
1.-THE trust fears the building up
of this new market, and will not now
be SO anxious to leave part of the
farmers pooled tobacco in his hands.
This is espt cially true of the dark
or export type, and of Burley. 1t
needs no process of manufacture to
make them an excellent pipe tobac-
co, and if the trust concludes to
leave a few millions of pounds in
the farmers hands, he will soon de-
velop his new market for any pos
sible surplus.
''If this amendment becomes the
law as now believe it will, it will
be a red-letter day for the tobacco
planters in the black patch. Of
course, | feel profoundly gratified at
tle prospect. 1t is the propitious
ending Of a x years fight with me.
l introduced bill repeating this tax
Immediately after my entrance into
the Fifty eighth Congress. The Ken |
lucky Congl es5men and Senators
have done yeoman service in this
great cause"

Philinnina Pins.

Army officers partaking Of Filipino
meals should know that the natives
make great preparations for the killing
Of a pig. When the owners are ready
TO kill, the pig is taken upstairs into
the kitchen. where it lives luxuriously
on boiled rice, is bathed every day
and prepared for slaughter like a sac
rifcial victim. IF you are personally
acquainted with a pig Of this sort and
know the day set for its decease," says
one writer, you may send your serv-
ant out to buy fresh pork; otherwise
you had better stick to chicken and
fish" This advice is given because of
the tendency Of the native to turn his
'rooters" into seavengers.-Army and

THE SAMOAN VOLCANO.
Valleys Filled and Hills Submerged by
Its Fiery Eruption.

Valleys Filled and Hills Submerged by
Its Fiery Eruption.
Letters recently received from peo-
pie who, journeying across the Pacific,
made stop at Samoa give some idea
of the stupendous volcanic outburst
that is going on in the island Of Saw,
German Samoa This volcano broke
out three and half years ago, but it
Is so far away from the usual lines Of
travel across the Pacific that but little
has been learned of It's activity.
1t has been In constant eruption the
whole Of that time and must have
thrown out far more enormous mass
of molten matter than has any other
volcano within historic times. The
iery river that flows from great
rent In the side Of the mountain is
eight miles wide and has buried under
its lava about sixty square miles Of
country. The activity Of the volcano
and the amount of the flow are in
creasing. Hills GOO feet high have
been submerged. aud valleys as deep
have been filed to their rims with
molten rock.
The outflow Of the volcano has been
estimated to be at least 100000 tons
minute. BY the side Of such a mass
as that, kept up steadily for more than
three years, the disgorgings of vesu-
vius would be no more than spoon
full.
The incandescent river soon reaches
the seashore, and the fiery flow drops
over cliff into the ocean. Huge col
umns of sea water spout from the I'm
pact, and immense clouds of steam
rise to great heights. The trade winds
carry this sea water in the form of
fine rain for miles along the coast,
where it is destroying vegetation and
injuring property far from the volcano
itself
The roar of the falling lava and the
kissing of the water make a mighty
tumult that can be heard a long dis
lance To the uproar is added also the
noise of the explosion of huge, super
heated rocks, which cover the surface
of the lava flow and explode with
great violence, scattering their frag-
ments in all directions. when they
strike the water.
AS the Isl md Of Saw is very sparse
ly inhabited, even by the natives,
while the white population consists of
a few missionaries and traders, there
has been but little damage to life or
nrODertv in the neighborhood of the
volcano.-Philadelph Ledger

Scheme of the Gamblers In Crock
ford's House In London.
Crockford. the proprietor OF well
known London gambling house, was
made to play a queer role after he was
dead When one of Crockford's horses
was poisoned just before the Derby
the misfortune brought on an attack
of apopexy, which proved fatal with
in forty-elght hours. Now, many of
Crockford's friends had staked large
sums on another of the gamblers
horses, which was a favorite for the
Oaks and which was disqualified by
the death Of the owner. Only the peo-
pie in the gambling house knew Of
Crockford's death, and it was resolved
to keep it a secret until after the race
The servants were bribed and sworn
to secrecy, and the cOnspirators on the
day after the night upon which Crock
ford died had the body placed in a
chair at a window, so that people re-
turning from the track could see the
gambler sitting there. He was fixed
up to look as lifelike as possible and
through the window and partially con
cealed from view by the curtains look
ed so natural that no one of the great
crowd which came cheering by the
house when on their return from see
ing Crockfords horse win the Oaks
suspected the trick
The next day it was announced that
Crockford was dead, but 1t was years
before the true story leaked OUT
