equipped for the purpose and whose
existing work was more allied to the
subject than to the department of ag
riculture which is concerned with
matters relating to the farm and whose
scientists are trained i'm that direction.
Doubtless another department would
have been charged with the duty of
enforcing the pure food and drug act
had it not been for the prestige and
influence of Dr. Harvey w. Wiley,
the chemist of the department of ag-
riculture, who had fought so long and
hard for pure food and drugs, and who
naturally sought to be placed in su-
preme command of the forces apply
ing the act.
Wiley Is Ignored
DIR. Wiley has been compelled, how
ever, to sit by and play second fiddle,
and 1t is presumed he would welcome
a situation which would lead to the
separation of himself and Secretary
Wilson and the latters associates.
That Secretary Wilson is conscien-
tious in his efforts to see the pure food
act is properly enforced, is not doubt
ed by any one familiar with his his
tory and personally acquainted with
the man.
At the same time a conflict of per-
difference of opinion, has more than
once been manifested in the depart
ment, which has not resulted in any
good to say the least. Secretary Will
son is more than "a years old; he holds
the record for service in the cabinet
and it is doubtful if he will serve
through the Taft administration. His
retirement, however, would not bring
peace to the department as far as the
ntlPp food and drug act is concerned,
and there is apparently no satisfac-
tory solution to the problem except
the creation of a new department or
bureau and the transfer to it of the
work now being done by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Wiley Makes Mistake
That the overrulng of Wiley on the
benzoate of soda decision was a mis-
take is being evidenced more and
more All the fight made by the
friends of the preservative has been
based on the alleged harmlessness Of
tenth of one per cent, or one ounce
of benzoate of soda to thousand
ounces of food; but the users of benz
zoate of soda cannot always regulate
the amount even if they so desire.
For example, the department has
just issued a bulletin telling of the
seizure of sixty-five one-gallon jugs
and eighty-five one-gallon tins of
ketchup made by a prominent manu-
featuring firm and labeled as contain
ing tenth of one per cent benzoate
of soda, which was found to contain
.205 per cent. or more than twenty
times the amount stated on the label,
being at the rate of twenty and one
half ounces to the thousand.
The court sustained the seizure, the
manufacturers making no defense.

How II Is Used by the British Gov

It's elephant feet is one Of the stran.
gest and most deadly departments
maintained by the British government
In India. 1t is a large feet Of coast
ing steamers specially built for the
transport of elephants midas popu-
lation is one-hfth that Of the entire
globe. All these people use elephants.
They use them for draft work and fol
tiger hunting, and in the arenas OF the
native states they even pit them
against one another and against wild
beasts. The elephant feet transfers
the animals from Dacca, the trapping
and training headquarters, to the va
rious districts whence comes the de-
mand.
To get an elephant aboard ship Is
difficult and dangerous task. The ami
NAL must wade through the surf to
stout raft, and this unknown surf, 80
white and tumultuous, often terr1fies
and maddens him. If In his fury he
slaughters a mahout or two he cannot
be greatly blamed. Once on the raft,
his legs are tied to peRs, and the slow
sail to the ship Is uneventful. But
now a great band must be arranged
under the elephants belly, and crane
must hoist him up some twenty or
thirty feet to the deck. Here again
the elephant cannot be set down as IN

unprecedented aerial journey, he muir

EARLY cARIcATURES.
Quaint Art and Humor of the Ancient
Egyptians.

Quaint Art and Humor Of the Ancient
Egyptians.
The fables Of Aesop prove that the
ancients were not without liking for
fun, and the remains Of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples OF ar
tistic humor are more common than Is
generally supposed.
A drawing on tile in the New York
museum represents cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman of fashion. She Is
seated languidly on chair, slipping
wine out of a small bowl and being
famed and offered dainties by an abb
1ect looking tomcat with his tail be-
tween his legs.
1he cat figures largely in the ancient
comic groups Of animal life. In a
papyrus In the British museum dock
of geese are being driven by a cat
and a herd Of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One OF the
wolves is playing a double pipe.
There is In Turin papyrus roll that
displays a whole series Of such comical
scenes. In the first place, lion,
crocodile and an ape are giving vo-
cal and instrumental concert. Next
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep-
tered like a pharaoh. With majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed to him by a cat of high degree, to
which a bull acts as proud conductor.
A lion and a gazelle are playing at
draughts, a hippopotamus is perched
in tree and hawk has climbed into
the tree and is trying to dislodge him.
Another picture shows a pharaoh In
the shape Of rat drawn in carriage
by prancing greyhounds. he is pro-
ceeding to storm fort garrisoned by
cats having no arms. but teeth ana
claws. whereas the rats have battle

VESTS CAMPAIGN SPEECH.

Why Small Boy Persisted In Hear.
Ing II Every Day.
Senator Vest was making a buggy
campaign in southeast Missouri some
years ago." said a Missouri Official
His driver was a small boy, who waa
duly impressed with the Importance
of his distinguished passenger.
"At each town visited by Vest the
boy hurried his team to a convenient
livery barn and then raced for the
courthouse, or wherever the 'speakin'
was to take place, and perched him
self with painful regularity on the
front seat. He invariably turned hia
eyes on the senator and took in every
word of the speech as II his very life
depended on 1t.
FINALLY the lads continued conspic'
uous presence among his auditors an
noyed the senator, and he kindly but
firmly reminded the boy that it was
not necessary for him to attend every
meeting.
"T make the same speech each time.
You have heard it often enough to
know it by rote, SO just put in your
time In the future looking after the
team he admonished bis youthful
driver.
Despite the senator's objection. the
boy was again in the front seat the
next day and the following day. This
enraged Vest, and he Numbered:
"'Why do you persist in always oc-
cupying that front seat? Didn't tell
you 1 make the same speech every
day? It's as old and stale to you as II
is to me- Why insist on hearing II
again and againr
at want to see what you're going to
do when you fergit it, answered the
boy. Vest capitulated."-st Louis Re
